Meet at the shop for a 6:30pm start to our first group ride of the year! Some of the CCS race team members will lead a fast group, and others will lead a more leisurely ride. For those of you who are new to group rides, read on for a few tips and what to expect!
Pace: The whole group will break into several smaller groups based on your skill, distance of ride, and how hard you want to ride.
Etiquette and Skills: Stay close to the person in front of you to avoid an “accordion” spread to the line of bikers, but far enough away that that you could stop or change direction to avoid an obstacle or the next bike in front of you. The group will stop at major forks in the trail. Always be sure to communicate the direction of a turn to the person behind you. You can point or call out, “left!” for example. This is a no-drop ride, so be sure that you can see the person in front and behind you. We aren’t going to leave anyone in the woods!
Fashion: Helmets are always “in” and the trails require them. Other than head gear, wear whatever fashion suits you, but you may want to consider padded shorts/leggings, padded gloves, and a sweater to leave in your car or at the shop for afterward.
Food: You may want to bring a light snack for afterward, like an apple, energy bar, etc, and a bottle or two of water. We will have Rick’s favorite cookies and apple juice on hand after the ride while we stretch out and socialize.

Meet for a 6:30pm start at Lakes Dairy Land in Lake Linden, MI. Remember a little bit of cash for ice cream after the ride! Some of the CCS race team members will lead a fast group, and others will lead a more leisurely ride. For those of you who are new to group rides, read on for a few tips and what to expect!
Pace: The whole group will break into several smaller groups based on your skill, distance of ride, and how hard you want to ride. On the road, riders ride in what is called a “pace line”. Check out this article from bicycling.com for the basics.
Etiquette and Skills: On the road, you may see potholes or other obstacles. Some riders will point downward at the obstacle to inform the riders behind them. Pass on the message. Stay close to the person in front of you to avoid an “accordion” spread to the line of bikers, but far enough away that that you could stop or change direction to avoid an accident or obstacle in front. The group will stop at major forks in the trail or road. Always be sure to communicate the direction of a turn to the person behind you. You can point or call out, “left!” for example. This is a no-drop ride, so be sure that you can see the person in front and behind you. We aren’t going to leave anyone in the woods or out on the road.
Fashion: Helmets are always “in”. Other than head gear, wear whatever fashion suits you, but you may want to consider padded shorts/leggings, padded gloves, and a sweater to leave in your car or at the shop for afterward. Some folks like to have sunglasses on the road, and clear or yellow-tinted glasses on the trail.
Food: You may want to bring a light snack for afterward, like an apple, energy bar, etc, and a bottle or two of water. …And of course, some money for a bit of ice cream this week!
Group rides are held every Wednesday at 6:30 pm. Most are mountain bike rides, held at different local trails (and even on some great people’s personal trails!), while others are road rides. Call the shop or check online for weather cancellations and other considerations (like whether or not we’ll be stopping for ice cream!)
