GOYB #7 - Starting in Auburn we head to the world famous and often visited Black Diamond Bakery. There is a long climb, some rollers plus one short steep climb into Black Diamond, enough that you'll earn that Bear Claw. On the way back after a couple short rollers, we get to enjoy a fast downhill and a flat return along Green Valley Road.
This is a social ride with experienced ride leaders to grow your confidence with group riding. It is free and open to everyone. Everyone will ride together so you need not be concerned about being left behind. This is ride 7 of 8.
"Steady pace" is less than 13 mph on a flat surface without any headwind. Note that, average walking speed is around 3 mph, so we will be 4 times faster than walking. If you are not sure about your pace, please join us anyway. If you need to return to the start early simply notify the Ride Leader.
You should dress appropriately for the weather, but you do not need spandex or other specialized bike gear. All you need is a working bike, water, and a helmet. If you haven't ridden your bike for quite some time, please do an ABC Check (link below) or take it to your local bike shop a few days prior to the ride date.
During the safety and ride briefing, we will go over hand signals and what we say during the ride to keep ourselves safe.
Register - Please sign an e-waiver by clicking on the “Register Now” button at the top of this page (right below the ride title) and enter your information. If you cannot make the ride, you do not need to unregister.
