All rides start and stop at:

PACE:
The routes are designed to be challenging, while accommodating a range of fitness levels. The group will work together on the flats, averaging 18-20 mph. For those who want to hammer, not to worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to push hard on the hills with re-group points at the top.

- No aero bars or hybrid bikes.
