For this skill and ability building ride, riders new to group riding are encouraged to start attending this ride early in the season, which typically begins in late March or early April.

During April and May we "Ramp-up" to better group riding skills. In June and beyond, there is more riding and less instruction.

As the season proceeds, riders become more skilled and the pace often picks up a little in each group. If you want to join this ride later in the season, it's a good idea to contact the ride leader - we can try to hook you up with a group-ride buddy to get you caught up.
