Group Ride: Social Sunday March 26th

For our first Social Sunday ride this March 26 we are pleased to offer 3 groups:

C- This group ride will follow the no-drop, social and supportive format DIVA format, but open to all genders. Expect an average moving speed around 22km/h but we will do our best to stay together as a group. This is a good group to start in, particularly if you are newer to group riding. Not too much climbing to ease us into things, unless we decide we are feeling up to an extra challenge. 27km route.

B-This group will be travelling faster at around 25km/h, and will likely be longer and/or tackling more hills, but still maintain the supportive no-drop format of the C ride. 39km route..

A-This will be a group for the speediest among us, with an average speed in the 28-30km/h range. The plan is to regroup at the top of the major climbs, but maintain paceline through the flats and rollers. This will be fast and spicy, so if you find it's a bit too much, you can drop off (let the group know!) and odds are good you can be picked up by the B or C groups following. 64km route.

All groups will meet at 9:00am at RCC. Riders are expected to be prepared for longer rides, carrying supplies for basic mechanicals, fuel and hydration. If applicable, 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.

If the weather decides not to co-operate we will do our best to post a cancellation notice here by 8:00am Sunday.
