Rather than the typical free-for-all, this ride is governed by Ride Marshalls who controls the pace at certain points in the route. Speeds vary from 15-19mph on rollers to 20+mph on the flats. Not to worry, at no time will you be required to ride at the front to pull the group. For those that have the need for speed, there are sprint section throughout the route where you can test your fitness. Riders are allowed to go as fast or as easy as they like through these sections.

Please Read:
To maintain safety on the road and to be respectful of motorists the following simple set of guidelines are asked to be followed:
Do not pass the guide in the non Free Ride sections.
Yellow Line rule on two lane roads must be obeyed. (NEVER EVER to be crossed)
White Line rule when we have ample shoulder or an adequate bike must be obeyed.
Broken Line rule, we do not take up more than one lane except when safely transitioning for a left turn.
Slower riders in the Free Ride sections should move to the far right to allow faster riders to go by on the left.
2x2 Paceline at all other times. No wheel overlapping of the rider in front.
The ride will NOT stop for flats. If you are with a friend that flats, we suggest that you stop and ride in with them. Be sure to know the route and how to short cut or get back and how to change a flat.
