Description

Take your cycling skills and performance to a higher level. Join us for a fast paced training ride aimed at increasing your speed and improving your group riding skills. Practice rotating pace lines, close proximity riding and advanced bike handling while building fitness at a riding pace in excess of 18 m.p.h. Due to the need to ride in a tight pack, the fast pace and training specific nature of this ride, use of traditional style road bikes is strongly recommended. Recumbent, hybrid and mountain bikes are discouraged. A certain level of experience and fitness is expected. The actual pace of the ride will be determined by the ride participants. 25-35 miles, 19-25 mph.

I do the Monday rides. They're fun and even I can keep up.

Leah -- not necessarily. Wed. nights are generally faster paced than the Monday night rides. If anyone is unsure of their abilities, start with a Monday night ride.

Hi Dave - Is it required to have done the Intro to Training Rides before doing this ride?

This is a great workout for the better than average cyclist. Road bike highly recommended. Yeah, it's predominantly men who show up, but women also attended so don't be intimidated. Wednesday night's route/cue sheet will be fun, with a few sprints, approximately 34 miles. BTW: the start is the parking lot of the Dunkin Doughnuts.
