Wednesday Ride Basics
When selecting a ride, riders should consider the terrain of a ride because if may affect their ability to ride at the listed pace.
Riders who have not previously ridden with the Club are advised to select rides that do not challenge their estimate of their riding ability.
Riders should sign in prior to the start of the ride and immediately upon their return based on the signpost color code based on ride distance and pace.
