The Getting Ready to Ride Series
Are you new to bicycling or just been off of your bike for a while? Perhaps you have resolved to ride more this year or have signed up for a big ride like STP? If so, Getting Ready 2 Ride might be just for you! It is an 8-week series starting with a flat, easy ride and adding a little more challenge each week. We will regroup frequently and definitely at the top of any climbs.
This Week's Ride
Join us for a ride from Matthews Beach on a 21 mile route at leisurely pace (10-12 mph)! Let's meet at the southeast side of the Matthews Beach parking lot at 10:15. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done. If you miss the briefing you will not be able to join this ride.
This is one of the flattest bike rides we could find, ideal to get started. Over 85% of it is on multi-use trails. Restrooms are available at the start and at our mid-point at Wilmot Gateway Park (10 miles).
Final Words
Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.
Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancelation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.
We hope you can join us!
