Sport Training Rides

Sport Training Rides: Distances ranging between 25 and 35 miles. These are local LSD (Long Steady Distance) social rides with few, if any, planned stops, a challenge pace, but with a no-drop policy. That is, if riders have difficulty with the pace, the group will reform and adjust the pace to keep the group together. A challenge pace can be characterize as moderate (16-19 mph). All riders should be self-sustained, being prepared with food and water, and able to deal with any mechanical difficulties, if necessary. Route map and cue sheet may be available at the start of the ride, but riders should come prepared with their own maps and/or navigational aids.

Things to Remember:
  • The course will not be marked on the road.
  • You will be responsible for getting yourselves back to the start point. You will need to rely on a map if you fall back from, or get out in front of your group.
  • Even though we will be riding on country roads, remaining single file or at most two abreast and on the right side of the road shows respect for motorists, represents our club well and is highly recommended.
  • And as always, you will receive disparaging looks if you choose to ride without a helmet.
