Event Details

This is a social, no-drop¹ group ride that takes place mostly on residential and suburban roads.  The ride will have a casual pace so that riders can enjoy conversing, but to do any form of group riding you should be able to pace yourself at least around 12-14 mph / 19-23 kmh.  If you’re slower than that, just let us know–no big deal.  This ride will likely fall somewhere between a 12-16 mph average depending on the group.

The ride will generally be 17-20 miles (approximately), and we stop somewhere near the middle of the ride for a coffee break at Just Love Coffee² on the corner of Shaw and Sunset Canyon (usually around 11 or 12 miles into the ride).  If you don’t want coffee or refreshments there, that’s fine, but we’ll stop long enough for those who want coffee to finish the cup and we’ll all hang out and be social for a mid-ride break.  They do have some outdoor seating and a bike stand out front, although not enough for everyone if others are using it.

There are no restrooms open at Wildwood Elementary where we’ll begin, but the coffee shop where we’ll eventually take a mid-ride break is only a few hundred meters north of the school and is open before we roll out.

Helmets are required.  You don’t need to be on a specific type of bike, so long as you can ride safely and keep with the group.  New riders in the club, even those new to group riding, are welcome.

You can see an example of the approximate route on this Strava activity from when we were piloting the ride: https://www.strava.com/routes/3150115733318413250

Questions?  Reach out to Brent Neal, Chris Green, or James Monroig.

¹ What does “no-drop” mean?  The group or ride leader will not leave anyone behind, whether it is because the rider is struggling with pace (can’t keep up), has a flat tire, or anything else. We’ll wait up and make sure that everyone rides together.

Safety Message

NWCC Mandatory Safety Message

You should be aware that potential risks, hazards, and obstructions may exist whenever you ride and we do not guarantee safe cycling conditions or make any representations about road conditions including pavement conditions, traffic volume, or speed. You are responsible for evaluating road and trail conditions in accordance with your individual level of experience, skill, tolerance for cycling in traffic, weather, time of day, obstacles, road condition and other factors when evaluating or selecting a route. NWCC and its officers disclaim any responsibility for any issues that may arise and in no event shall be liable for any damages or loss of any kind.

DOs

  • Helmets are required.
  • Obey all traffic signals.
  • Ride predictably and smoothly.
  • Call out all hazards.
  • Use hand signals and call out your intentions, when you are turning, slowing, and stopping.
  • Call out vehicles as they approach, “Car back” / “Car up” “Car left / right”
  • In double pace lines, roll off one at a time so there will not be four abreast at any time.
  • When passing other riders and groups, pass on the left and always call out “on your left.”
  • Communicate with riders in your group who may be pushing the speed of the group beyond the group’s expectations. Ask them to slow down / speed up and/or move to the next group / drop to the group coming up.
  • If you are new to group riding, whatever your estimated average speed, we highly recommend starting in the no-drop group, which will be called last.

DON’TS

  • No earbuds, headphones, speakers or phone usage while cycling in any pace group.
  • No using aerobars in the paceline.
  • No overlapping wheels.
  • Do not assume that the average speed of your ride will fall within the speed noted for each pace group except for the no-drop and 20+ groups. Groups may average a faster pace, especially on downhills or with a tail wind. On the other hand, the pace may be slower in poor riding conditions, climbing hills or into a headwind.
