UPDATE--Cue Sheet and GPS File Included

Saturday, March 12, 2016 - 10:00

The cycling season is upon us! Whether you've been training all February in Aruba or watching your bike collect dust, this is the perfect start to the 2016 season--a round-trip to Piermont at a brisk but manageable pace, with a humane 10:00 am start time at the Dana Center (in Central Park, just South of 110th Street bet. 5th and Lenox Aves, bathrooms available). We'll keep a 16 MPH or so pace on the flats. An ideal opportunity for those who haven't done a quick spin before to give it a try!

UPDATE: If you want to download the gps or tcx file, they are available by clicking the "export" tab of the Ride with GPS file here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12511105

Ride Type Descriptions

Note: Helmets required for all rides and electronic bikes are not allowed on any rides (pedal assist bicycles are permitted). Additionally, the 5BBC does not permit the use of aero-bars on any of its rides. Failure to comply at any time with the above requirements results in immediate disqualification from any 5BBC ride.

Happy Face Rides: Just starting to get into cycling or perhaps you're nervous about riding in the city? These rides are low mileage and go at a leisurely, slow pace under 10 mph. They may or may not have point, drop, sweep but everyone rides together in a group. Great for beginners!

Moderate Rides: Do you like to cycle and still see the sights? These rides range from 12-15 mph with point, drop, sweep. Suitable for intermediate riders as well as advanced riders who want more of a tour.

Advanced Moderate Rides: Like to challenge yourself without getting so out of breath that you can't carry on a conversation with the cyclists near you? These rides are 15-17 mph with point, drop, sweep. Suitable for intermediate and advanced riders looking to see the scenery, but not dawdle.

Quick Spin Light Rides: Feel like you're ready to start really pushing faster? These rides range from 16-19 mph with minimal stops and limited point, drop, sweep. Suitable for intermediate and advanced riders who can keep a steady, fast pace for extended periods of time. If this is your first time trying one of these rides, check in with the leader for details and make sure you have a Metro Card, MetroNorth or LIRR pass and bike permit in case you need to drop out.

Quick Spin Rides: Not for the faint of heart! These rides are 17-20+ mph with minimal stops and no point, drop, sweep. Advanced cyclists only need apply.
