Saturday afternoon ride

This ride is a seasonal ride designed for the spring, fall, and winter -- it takes a break during the summer as temperatures are too high for a noon ride.

This ride ranges from 40-60 miles, based upon the group attendance and choice.  The average speed over the distance will be between 16.5 - 18.5 mph depending on the route, weather, and dynamics of the group.  There is at least one convenience store rest stop.  There may be sprint zones on the ride.

This is a 16.5+ average speed ride, with various routes. We will stop as a group for mechanical problems and flat tires. There is at least one rest stop.

This is a DROP Ride, and riders should have a SAG plan.  

Please join the Saturday Afternoon Ride Blog for current and updated communications.

Please arrive 15 minutes before the start to allow time to sign in, introduce yourself to the ride leader, and hear the pre-ride briefing.
