We ride twice a week; Tuesday is a hard training ride for experienced road and tri riders, while Thursday is our easy day for new members and those who just want to ride for fun. We will typically do 8+ miles. Rides start from the teacher's parking lot at 3:15 on the dot, in order to respect everyone's time. If you show up after 3:15, there is a pretty good chance that we will not be there, so please be on time.
Due to safety concerns, if there is greater than a 30% chance of rain, we will not ride.
Riders will need to provide their own bike (road, tri, hybrid or comfort only; no mountain or BMX bikes because of the distance) and helmet. For more information, contact McConnell.
If you have any questions, please stop by room D105, or e-mail me at [email protected] or [email protected].
