This is our fastest (and funnest??!!) level of group ride. Our mechanic & aspiring pro-triathlete, Fiona, will lead this ride. 30-50 miles, at 16-18mph pace. Before the ride starts we will go over the basics of ride safety, the route & other important information. After the ride, snacks & drinks will be waiting for us at the shop!
I joined in on the May ride and had a blast. This is a very beginner friendly “no drop” group ride, I recommend anyone interested in road group rides to check this one out.
I think they may rotate which routes they use for this ride but this is was the May ride:
- Route to Hometown Coffee in Glencoe and back
- I tracked 39 miles
- I averaged at 15.4 mph
- I got “dropped” in the two sprint sections but again its a “no drop” ride so the sprinters wait for the pace group/stranglers
- I was the only one on a vintage bike, with flat pedals, an not in a road kit and didn’t feel weird or anything

Reposted because it got lost when Seahorse spun the backup back up.
This was a great ride today! They ended leaving an hour earlier, 7:30, to beat the heat and that was absolutely the right call. The trip was down to wolf lake and back, my watch got 50.4 miles from the shop and back, no sprints on this ride despite a bunch of xxx roders joining. I averaged at a very casual 15.4 mph, mid pack.
Cant wait for august’s ride.
