Group Ride: Social Sunday April 2

Last Sunday’s Energetic Group

Currently the weather looks good for this April 2nd Social Sunday Group Ride. Ride starts in the Rock City Cycles parking lot at 9am.

The A & B Group are heading North to enjoy some punchy hills in Nanoose.

The C group is staying in town, but as we all know Nanaimo is hilly, so expect a workout.

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 group.

B - This group will be travelling at around 25km/h and maintains the supportive no-drop format.

C - 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.

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
