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 19.5 mph.  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.
