Group Rides

 

Tuesday Morning Fast Ride (TMFR)

This ride typically has a group between 10 and 40 riders and covers approximately 35 miles of rolling terrain with a steep climb at the finish. The pace is high and staying with the front group is extremely difficult, but there are always people to ride with if you end up off the back.

The Shootout

The shootout is the Saturday morning group ride. The ride has groups of about 20 riders in the summer and well over 100 riders in the winter and spring. The terrain is fast and rolling with two sprints and a gas station stop about halfway through. The total distance is just over 70 miles. If you're looking for extra miles and some real climbing, watch for the turnoff to Madera Canyon on Duval Mine Road. If you want to take in the same route at a slower pace, catch the "scootout" or "old man shootout" leaving from the same starting location 15 minutes before the fast ride.
