Description

The Ride is for cyclists seeking camaraderie of a spirited and athletic group exploring the northwestern suburbs of Chicago, without pressure to keep up with those training for competition. A fast and challenging ride in a supportive, welcoming group. Learn or practice paceline riding skills. Traffic laws will be observed. No one will be “dropped.” The distance will be approx. 50 miles in 3 hours and the route will vary based on the input of those who show up at the start. Meet at Grove and Sherman (by the Italian Coffee Bar) in Evanston for 50 mi. at a steady, brisk pace.

Comment by Dawn on September 28, 2008 at 6:30am: This ride is much more brutal than this description lets on. The steady, brisk pace averages around 20 mph (at least). The guys are very nice and they don't lie when they say no one will be dropped, but they advertise on their website that their pace is 21 mph so it's best if you can keep that for the duration so as not to hold them back. Again, the guys were very nice and stayed with us as we tried (and mostly succeeded) in keeping up with them. I just wasn't expecting it to be quite that challenging based on the description above.
