Sunday Road Ride
These rides are meant to be a friendly group ride, but can sometimes get spicy. Groups will form according to approximate average moving speeds, subject to the numbers and types of riders in attendance. We ask that riders join the group best suited to their needs for the day, but if riding down a group (ie on a rest day) that they ride with or behind the slowest rider. Don't push the pace of a slower group!
Riders are expected to be prepared for longer rides, carrying supplies for basic mechanicals, fuel and hydration. Please load or study the route ahead of time. Rides may have a formal ride leader (subject to availability of volunteers) but every participant is expected to look out for other riders so that the experience is as safe and fun as possible for all.
C group will be no-drop with moving average of 20-22km/h. This group will generally work to stick together at the speed of the slowest rider.
B (23-25 km/h) group will re-group after hills and at intersections so that the group can stay together.
B+/A group averages 26-28km/h. There will be some re-grouping after hills, but can be spicy depending on the group.
Check out the routes below, and if you have questions feel free to ask in the discord #sunday-road-ride channel in the MIVA Club Rides section.
The ride requires MIVA membership.
If you are new to MIVA and/or group riding, please check out our Tuesday Development rides first.
