Group rides are awesome

A double paceline

Whether you regularly ride with a group, or this is your first group ride, we want to make sure this weekends Skatelife GranFondo is a great group ride for everyone.
There will be lots of time for us all to ride as a single group, as well as time for us to ride in smaller groups determined by rider strength.
The biggest rule is that no-one needs to ride alone. If you are feeling slow, we'll make sure someone sticks with you, or you can make use of the support van. The purpose of the ride is not to isolate riders in the pack.

To give us a fun experience & to increase our efficiency we will ride in a paceline as much as possible. If drafting is new to you no problem. We will help you with some practical tips. Also, I've linked an article about group rides from our friends at Just Giver Cycling Club. We will be using the same guidelines for our ride.
Of course there is also lots of fun to be had through the weekend with some sprints, hill climbs, etc when you wanna go hard.


Can we find one more...

We have a great number of riders this year with 9! It will make for a good group ride.
I was thinking, wouldn't it be great to add one more rider to make a nice round 10?
If you have an idea of who this rider should be, let us know & we will work hard to fit them in as #10.
Start bugging that friend right now & we'll see what happens!

See you Saturday!
