About The Gliders

The Gliders are a group that strives to maintain high training speeds over moderate distances and maintain the integrity of the group. The average speed of our rides generally will fall between 18.5 and 19.8 mph, which means our cruising speed is generally over 20. You must be capable of holding these speeds for three to four hours in order to stay with the group. On most rides, we stop once at a store. If there are more than 15 riders who will participate in the pace line, please form two groups. For full information about the group, visit our web page.

To participate, you must sign the safety pledge, wear a helmet, be able to change a flat tire, and have a capable road bike. You can agree to the safety pledge on our web site.

If you are not a club member, you can print a membership form from our web site.

If you have not recently done so, you should read the

page on our web site.

A Note About Time

You should be ready to ride when you arrive at the ride start point. If you need extra time to assemble your bicycle, get dressed, or eat breakfast, plan to arrive before the scheduled meeting time. Gather around the ride leader at the briefing time for the route briefing and introductions. Departure is immediately at the conclusion of the briefing (our record short briefing was 8 seconds).
