Tuesday Night Fast Ride

We will be riding in the dark. You MUST have working front and rear lights on your bike to join the ride. No lights, no ride.

Tuesday Night Rides now start at 5:00 pm through the end of the season (likely early November, weather permitting) 

 

Tuesday Night: Fast Group Ride

This is a fast road ride designed for experienced riders who are comfortable riding in a tight, efficient group at a sustained pace.

While the pace is strong, this is not a race. The goal is a cohesive group ride, not a selection event.

We will incorporate regroup points on most routes. These are full regroups, but they are typically brief (at most 3–6 minutes). Because of terrain and timing, not everyone who falls off will always make it back on before the group rolls. Riders should come prepared for a fast, continuous effort.

We may wait for a straggler or two, depending on the route and the ride’s flow, but the group is not guaranteed to wait if you fall off the back.

The aim is to finish with at least 75% of the riders who started.

The success of the ride isn’t measured by how many riders get dropped. It’s measured by how many riders roll back in together.

Long-term, success also looks like consistency: 10+ riders showing up week after week throughout the season.

We would rather you finish with the group than burn matches, taking long pulls off the front. Short, smooth, steady pulls keep the group together better than hero efforts.

  • Time: 5:00 pm on Tuesdays through the end of the season (likely early November, weather permitting)
  • Location: Meet at the Westover Park Swimming Pool Parking Lot
  • Pace: The ride averages close to 20 mph, sometimes less, depending on how many hills are in the route.
  • Length: At least 2 hours, often 2.5 hours. Distances range from 40-50 miles.
  • Ride Surface: While most of the ride is on pavement, every route includes unpaved (gravel) segments; some routes may be up to 25% gravel.
  • There is a GroupMe Text Message group (or you can use the GroupMe App) for the ride that you can join here.

Everyone Must sign a fresh waiver at least once every 12 months to ride.
