Saturday Novice
This ride, will be offered on Saturday mornings and leaves from the Gulledge Elementary Parking lot. This ride does cancel when weather conditions are extra wet, windy, or too cold. Watch for the PBA forum ride announcement each Friday evening during its "off" season.
This ride is for people who are new to group riding, but not completely new to riding. This is a ~20 mile ride for beginners
who are new to group riding, or anyone wanting a conversationally paced group ride. Group riding safety,
etiquette, and skills will be covered in the briefing and practiced on the road.
Bring your bike with properly inflated tires, spare tube, tools to change a flat, helmet, and a full water
bottle.
This ride has a leader and the ride route will be posted on the PBA blog and/or Facebook. We ride at an 11-13 mph average. We will cover about 8-9 miles in two 45 minute legs with a 10 minute break in the middle. Please
be sure you can maintain this pace, have a flat kit and a properly fitting and working bike. This is a no-drop
ride; however, if you do not have the proper equipment or level of experience, the ride leader may ask you
to come back when you do.
