The Black Friday Ride – 16th Annual Edition!Are you ready for the biggest, baddest, fastest, and most fun ride of the year? Get set for a Black Friday tradition like no other!
Choose from two route options: 100 miles or 67 miles. This is a large group, fast-paced, drop ride – meaning you’re responsible for your own bike, mechanicals, flats, and safety. Please know the route ahead of time; with the group’s size and speed, we can’t stop for every flat, so come prepared and have a buddy. Please keep in mind that support capabilities will be limited, so it’s still essential to come prepared with your own tools and spares.
Route Details:
• We’ll split into two groups at mile 19 at an Exxon station.
• 105-mile route: Additional stops at miles 39 and 79.
• 67-mile route: One additional stop at mile 41.
To keep the group together early in the ride, we may roll through some lights if they change while we’re already moving through a green. Use your best judgment and prioritize your comfort. We’ve managed this safely in past years due to the low early-morning traffic.
Let’s look out for each other! We’ll call out for slowing, stopping, and hazards like cracks, potholes, and tracks. Stay mindful of wheel placement—avoid overlapping or half-wheeling. This isn’t the ride to leapfrog for Strava segments. Our goal is to roll together, but we’ll still be riding fast and having a blast! Last year, riders averaged 22 mph with top speeds hitting 35 mph.
Pre-Ride & Post-Ride Details:
• Shama Cycles will be open at 6:00 a.m. for coffee and snacks. Rollout is at 7:00 a.m. sharp.
• Restrooms are available for emergencies only—arrive ready to ride. The ride will start at 7am, regardless of who is in the shop or restroom.
The shop will be open post ride, to snack and hang out some. The shop will close at 3pm.
Looking forward to seeing everyone out there!
