Level 4 ride: Thursday May 2

Posted on April 30, 2019May 2, 2019 | 3 Comments

Many have not been on bikes since Fall, so we’ll start out easy with a 37k on Thursday. We are going to build more strength and increase endurance as the season progresses. Please ensure that you have a front and a rear light on your bike.

What to expect on Level 4 rides: faster! This is the level for those who like to ride fast and climb a few hills. There is a “ride leader” present on the ride but participants will set a pace according to the groups wishes and there is no cap on speed.

Road bikes are required
Participants should be comfortable riding in a group formation, both single file and two-abreast
No one gets dropped. However, those wishing to push the pace may do so!
Distance for evening rides begin around 35km and increases , up to 55km for evening rides and 100km+ for daytime rides
Speed (pace) will be set by group consensus and may vary
Participants are expected to have access to the route map and be able to navigate
