The club offers several streams of different pacings and distances. This enables people to progress from beginner level to intermediate level rapidly. We help develop you and progress your fitness. So, now you can go on a tour!
The other week, Judy and Maria, went on a 400 mile bike tour. Tracy rode from Montreal to Boston. Ian is riding to Canada, next week. We help you develop towards your goals. Part of it is showing how to form those goals and measure progress.
Every Sunday we do the “flatter” area. The coastal route on Saturdays has more elevation gain. It is nice to have a change of pace.
Every Sunday the A group and the B group ride different routes that are created by the ride organizers. It is nice to do something different. These also enab
le to adjust the intensity of the rides and customize the rides to suit the level of the riders. It also keeps everything fresh.
I generally try to find flow. Right turns are always better. Intersections that take less time. 30 seconds versus a 5 minute wait? No brainer! I also seek those low-traffic roads and the butter-smooth pavement.
Usually the A group does at least 50 miles on Sunday. We often reach pacing of 22mph on large segments of the ride. We can come back with an average of 19.6 or 20.5. The B group averages 18-19mph.
Chasing those Strava Segments also helps your training. Together, it is like we work intervals.
