For training during the race season, club members usually find a favorite midweek evening ride or two near either their home or work and attend those or simply ride by themselves. There are many of these rides to choose from in our area, but here are a few of our favorites.
Helmets are required on all rides. Obey all road rules. These are training rides, not races. Most rides are cancelled when raining.
