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 and 21 mph, which means our cruising speed will range between 19 and 23 mph. Rides will normally be around 50 miles, but can range between 35 and 75. We will usually stop at a store about half way through the ride; on longer rides we may stop twice.

 

We would be considered an “A” level group under most club schemes.  We differ from the GCC A Riders in that our top end speed is generally lower, we generally ride fewer miles, and we do not use rotating pace lines.
