Group Ride Etiquette: Together, not racing.  If you see yourself pulling away on the front, pause at the top of the climb or at the intersection of the next turn.  Riding safely is the plan to enjoy a fun ride.

Average MPH Pace: The speed averaged over the entirety of the ride.  We will go faster and slower than the posted speeds with a target of an average posted speed.  Please be mindful of your abilities and expectations. 

About the Ride:  These rides are independent and you can choose to ride with the group or on your own.  Please note you as an individual rider are responsible for yourself and riding safely.  If you ride with the group please be prepared to get yourself to the dinner destination on your own accord if you get disconnected from the group. Routes are published by Monday before the ride. A stop will be taken midway while riding to order dinner on the app from the restaurant. This is in effort to allow the restaurant adequate time to prepare the meals prior to our arrival and assist with time management.  Please note, not all riders have dinner, and some choose to roll on when we stop.  This is a ride you can join for as much or as little as you like.  Some riders head home from the dinner stop and the remaining riders head back to the start of the ride.  All riders should have a helmet, lights and a lock. We’re stopping at restaurants in the city and bike theft is common, be vigilant.
 
Parking: If you elect to drive to the ride, Five Watt Coffee  has an off-street parking lot.  Please park in the back of the lot to accommodate other patrons. Post ride a few riders typically end the ride with a pint at a brewery or nearby watering hole  if you feel inclined.
