Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Road Rides
6 PM
Mid-March-October. Group Rides Sponsored by Chain Reaction Cycling Club
Distances vary
slightly depending on the day of week , but on each route, riders
can chose between
3 lengths, the shortest is 12-14 miles; middle 20-25 miles
and the
longest 28-32 miles. All routes are marked.
Riders with many different speed capabilities
participate,
so the group does not stay together. Everyone
rides
at their own pace. Nearly everyone ends up finding someone
pedaling at about their speed. Directional arrows are marked
on the roads. Some Route Maps posted here: www.crcc.net
