Road rides will continue through September and October meeting at Rock City Cycles. Groups will form according to approximate average moving speeds, but do be aware that group sizes are generally smaller in the fall, and there may not be a ride leader available for a C group. If you are new to MIVA and/or group riding, please check discord #social-sundays channel to see if there will be a ride leader or other C riders attending.
Riders are expected to be prepared for longer rides and inclement weather. They should be self sufficient, carrying supplies for basic mechanicals, fuel and hydration, and be familiar or able to navigate the route independently. Riders are expected to always ride safely within their limits. Riding in a Group — Mid Island Velo Association
