Club,

Join us as we kick off the 2012 season of Developers teaching rides. My wordy "History and Philosophy" of the Developers ride is here . The short version, for new members, is that we teach you one on one how to ride safe in a group and draft.

Meet noon, Thursday, Bike Works parking lot, Tioga Town Center.
Leave 12:10 p.m.
Ride for about 1.5 hours at 17-19 mph
We do not ride under 45 degrees.

We start the season at about 17-19 mph, no drop rules strictly enforced. We did notice that last season a lot of our "new" and "B" level riders got quite fast by late summer and fall, so we invented some clever "hare and hound" scenarios to keep the hot riders hot, but we always have a steady moving "Developers" group no matter what shenanigans are in play. We found that a lot of people who didn't want to "race" actually enjoyed the competitive tactical sessions, so you should check it out!

I'm hoping the warmer start time will bring out more people than the late time cancels. We'll see.
