This club ride has become a very popular road ride which is open to all cyclists.
It supports the following three levels of riders, each with a ride leader:
 The Fast Group - ride pace is around 20 MPH. You should be self sufficient.
The Intermediates - ride pace is 16-18 MPH. Expect limited sheparding from your ride leader.
The No Drop Group - ride pace is 12-14 MPH. A no-drop ride with generous assistance from you ride leader.
Sometimes, there are not enough riders to form a No Drop Group, so this level can be a hit and miss on Thursdays.
