October Connect Ride-hosted by Cycle Connect 417
Advertisement
Cycle Connect 417 will host our "Connect Rides" on Saturdays once each month from April to November. All women** are welcome to join us for a casual and fun bike ride on paved trails and bike-friendly paved roadways.
October Connect Ride: We will start and end our ride at Truman Elementary School. Park in the area closest to the trailhead (east side of the school) off of Farm Road 100.
We will have groups based on speed and distance. These will be no-drop rides within your groups, which means no one is left behind by themselves! And we mean that - no one has ever been left alone on any of our no-drop rides. Ever.
Helmets are required! Bike lights are encouraged for safety, but are not mandatory. Please do not feel like you need to have experience riding to have fun with us! Every month we have many women attend who are on their FIRST group ride....ALL WOMEN AND ALL BIKES are welcome.
August Groups and Routes:
GROUP A:
Distance of about 5-6miles
Expect the entire roundtrip ride to take about an hour, with many stops. There will be a designated ride leader and sweep, with perhaps a middle leader, depending on the size of the group. This group is recommended for the beginner cyclist with little experience or those wanting an easy-going pace. You do not have to be "in shape"! We only add this because we get asked all the time what level of fitness is required for our smaller route. This route is 100% paved trail and an out-and-back on the Fulbright Spring Greenway Trail. We'll ride about 30 minutes and then turn around.
GROUP B:
Distance of about 12-15 miles
Expect the entire route to take about an hour, with plenty of stops along the way to keep the group together. This group is recommended if you are comfortable with a 10-12 mph pace and on a paved trail. There will be a designated ride leader and sweep.
**Hey Fellas!! We don't mean to leave you out, but we also kinda do. We hear from many ladies that they would just rather ride with other women sometimes (especially new cyclists). All are welcome to hang out with us afterwards to share a beverage! The more the merrier.
