Team Training Rides

Schedule

Our training rides are normally scheduled on Saturday mornings with start times determined by weather season and road conditions. We will send out an email to alert Velo Force team members on Friday.

Route

We typically meet up at the Price & Clayton intersection and head west on Clayton Road. Our routes range between 50 and 90 miles and between 2,000 and 5,000 feet of elevation with several options to turn back for those wishing to ride less miles and/or less total elevation. We usually include a RWGPS link to the route in our email.

Rules

Please take the time to read these rules prior to joining us:

  1. Road bikes or gravel bikes with road tires are strongly recommended.
  2. Rides are no-drop provided you are able to ride comfortably within the pace described for each ride.
  3. Inform other riders behind you of hazards such as pot holes or obstacles.
  4. Ride no more than two riders across, and ride single file any time vehicles are behind the group trying to pass.
  5. In the Spring and Fall, our rides are designed to be no-attack, however if you jump off the front on a hill just simply wait for the group at the top.
