WHEN DO WE RIDE?
Rides begin on Wednesday May 15th at 6pm and run for twelve weeks – always on Wednesdays
COME JOIN US
- BIG Midweek rides are designed for both casual riders who might be inexperienced and perhaps even fearful of riding on the roads AND for riders with some group riding experience who are confident in their foundational skills
- Our Guides will take small groups for rides, which will match the abilities of the riders in that group
- Depending on the level of a group, guides may explain the principles of safety, cycling and training dynamics or higher level group riding concepts like how to create an echelon
- Individuals who regularly attend, with the desire to compete in our BIG 30KM or 50KM route, will feel confident in their group riding ability and be ready at the end of twelve weeks
- Cost is $65.00
All participants receive the following:
- Custom Tee shirt
- 15% parts discount at Blackwell Cycle
