Wednesday 6:00 p.m. for 6:10 roll-out
at parking lot of Bike Works in Tioga Town Center. 25 miles, no drop,
read below for description. James Thompson
Developers is a teaching ride primarily aimed at helping
fit riders learn group etiquette, safety practices, and drafting. Our
speed limit is 18mph, and the ride is no drop. We are very serious
about keeping this part of the ride ego and testosterone free (that goes
for both men and women). If you can ride 16mph alone for about 1.5
hours, you are fit enough for this ride. In order to encourage faster
and more experienced riders to come out and mentor the newbies, the ride
captain will design certain drills into the ride that will begin after the
teaching portion is well under way. These will include instruction in
advanced racing tactics like chasing, counter-attacking, sprint lead-outs,
overcadence drills to improve pedal form, and team time trialing. The
main body of the ride always stays together, and for the most part the
faster riders are with us, since the drills are designed for teaching and
therefore short.
