Saturday Group Rides

Posted February 21st, 2013 by Eric Johnson - This entry has been tagged with: group, rides

Saturday group rides start this Saturday, Feb 23rd!

Start: 10am ready to ride at Ultramax Sports. We'll roll out from Ultramax right at 10, so have the tires pumped, the kit all on and be ready to go.

Pace: 14-16mph aerobic base pace. Later on, as the season progresses, we may split up groups with some who would like to go faster, but for now, we'll all ride together.

For now this will be a no-drop ride. There are some hills around here so on the longer ones that break a group a part, we'll wait for all to finish the hill. We'll also make sure that everyone is together on any turns.

Weather Policy: If it's raining, icy, or snows on the road, we'll cancel and ride inside. Shawn Deal is leading these rides and will be there if it's over 30 degrees. He'll email the group listserv and tweet if the ride is canceled by 8am Saturday mornings.

We'll be heading out towards Rogersville, so there are multiple places to turn around if you would rather just ride 1, 1.5, 2, or if you decide to ride longer there's options for you with that, as well.

Pit stops: We'll stop twice-once in Ozark over by Lamberts, and the second time at the gas station at the Evans road exit. I would still encourage you to have at least 2 water bottles, and some food on you.

Hope this covers the questions, but would love to answer any more. Email shawn[AT]life360.org
