All rides leave from the Parking Lot at El Santiago Recreation Center. While there are several levels of rides, it is expected that a rider is competent in handling a bicycle on the road and in traffic. All riders are required to wear helmets and be able to ride in a safe manner as not to endanger themselves or other riders.
A,B,C and S designators indicate the intensity of the rides and suggest an average speed the group will maintain.
A = 18-21 MPH ---- distance 30-40 miles
B = 14-17 MPH ---- distance 26-32 miles
C = up to 14 MPH ---- distance 15-20 miles
S = Social Ride. Distance 8-15 miles. The emphasis is on the social side of the club, so the speed will be that of the slowest rider in the group.

Generally, after the ride, most groups meet at Panera's Bakery for coffee and food. This is a buy your own refreshments and food.
