Tuesday Night Road Ride - A/B Combined Group (Click for Details)

We’re excited to get back into the swing of things. Dust off the bike, air up the tires, and join us Tuesday evening for 29 miles of fun! We’re aiming to maintain around 18mph - not a walk in the park, but also not a TdF time trial!

As long as you can maintain close to 18mph, we’ll all stay together - if you start falling off the back, let us know and we’ll cool the pace - we just won’t come to a crawl. Also, everyone will stop if there are any mechanicals - just be sure to call it out. We recommend being prepared with anything you might need to change a tube or any other mechanical situation you foresee happening.

Rolling at 6pm - please be ready to go by then!

We’ll ride the GP - Meadowview Loop route. It’s around 29 miles with a few hills, but we’ll regroup if there’s any separation. Our goal is to not drop anyone so long as they can stay close to the advertised pace.

***Weather Dependent - We’ll try to cancel the ride at least an hour before the planned start time if the forecast looks unfavorable.

Southern Velo Saturday Ride

Southern Velo Saturday Ride

Great Fall weather so let’s ride! Start time is 9:00 am since it will be pretty warm in the mid 50s at the start and upper 60s at the end. I will be leading the ride this week and will enforce the pace. This ride is expected to average ~20 mph so come out and enjoy the SOUTHERN VELO-ship. If you want to bring a guest that is fine too just make sure they are comfortable in group rides and can hold the average pace advertised. Our main goal is to ensure everyone stays together and if someone falls off the back, sweepers are encouraged to bring them back to the group. We will also wait at stop signs to regroup as well if needed.

The Garmin routes are posted below and the 40 is the same as the 50 mile route with the exception of a turn on Keith Valley at around mile 31 so download the route you plan to ride and use it to call out turns so everyone is on the same page.
