This is our fastest (and funnest??!!) level of group ride. Our mechanic & aspiring pro-triathlete, Fiona, will lead this ride. 30-50 miles, at 16-18mph pace. Before the ride starts we will go over the basics of ride safety, the route & other important information. After the ride, snacks & drinks will be waiting for us at the shop!

I joined in on the May ride and had a blast. This is a very beginner friendly "no drop" group ride, I recommend anyone interested in road group rides to check this one out.

I think they may rotate which routes they use for this ride but this is was the May ride:

  • Route to Hometown Coffee in Glencoe and back
  • I tracked 39 miles
  • I averaged at 15.4 mph
  • I got "dropped" in the two sprint sections but again its a "no drop" ride so the sprinters wait for the pace group/stranglers
  • I was the only one on a vintage bike, with flat pedals, an not in a road kit and didn't feel weird or anything
