Veloist Group Ride
Welcome to our group ride. The idea is to have fun and build confidence riding on the road. We will be leaving the Lindenhurst Health and Fitness Club parking lot at 8:00 am on Saturday mornings, weather permitting, starting in late March.
This is a NO-DROP Ride, we start together, we finish together. It's not a race but there are guidelines. You must be on a road bike. Aero-bars are not allowed to be used during a group ride for safety reasons. You must wear a helmet. The pace will be moderate between 15 and 20 mph depending on the conditions and road. We'll look to ride 30 miles in the early season with a 16-17 mph average. You will be expected to be on a bicycle in good, safe condition and have the tools and materials needed to make minor repairs.
This is a fitness experience not a social joy ride. We will do some pace line work and ride as a group. The group will stop to assist anyone in need and obey all traffic laws. Safety is our biggest concern and ride leaders will ask unsafe riders to remain behind the group or away if needed. Rules and routes will be discussed prior to rolling each Saturday. Links to route maps and all communications will be posted here on the Veloist Group Ride page.
If this sounds good to you, join us. Safety is our first concern so please ask questions here so we can have fun out there. Enjoy and ride safe. Mike
