First time on this ride? Here’s the drill
- Bring
- a helmet, water, a spare tube or patch kit, a way to pay for the stop.
- Arrive
- Ten or fifteen minutes before 7:00 am. Tell whoever's leading that you're new.
- Pace
- The easiest pace the host lists is 16–20 mph: brisk — you'll want some fitness. It's a drop ride: if you can't hold the pace, you'll finish alone. Fine if you know your speed. Not a first ride.

- Look at the host's website the day of — that's where cancellations, weather calls and start changes get posted.
