Help us beat our record, we're looking to hit thirty riders this week!  Based on popular demand from both new and returning riders, we've re-formatted the ride a little bit.  We hope you will find it accommodating.

Meet 6:00 leave 6:10 p.m. for a teaching ride of about 25 miles from the Bike Works parking lot in Tioga Town Center on Wednesday.  

Fit riders who want to learn group riding, drafting, and safety will be mentored by an experienced rider (one per newbie) in a safe environment and smaller/slower group of about 17-18 mph, no drop.  Riders who have less experience rejoining the main group after corners and stops should also consider this group.

Other riders with a little more experience will go on a ride of the same distance and course, average speed of about 18 mph.  During this ride, faster riders will participate in drills concerning racing tactics, time trialing, sprinting, and intervals, with the goal of regrouping at some point if possible with the main group. 

The teaching portion of this ride will progress in the opposite direction of the main group, that way the groups can eventually meet and ride in together.  When newbies feel comfortable drafting, they can begin the ride with the main group.

Keep the Rubber Side Down,

James T.
Developers Ride Captain
