Road Rides

Fall is fast approaching, bringing with it some of the best time to be out on your road bike! I am including information about the remainder of the season for group road rides along with a plead for help. I need help from anyone who would like to lead a group ride on a Saturday morning in September. There are only six group rides left this year, so it would be great if everyone could come out! Our Tuesday skills clinics have ended, but will come back next year in a bigger, better way.

We will meet at the Orem shop at 8 am on Saturdays for the remainder of the season. In case there is any confusion, since it has changed a little bit, we will meet Saturdays at 8 am at the Orem Mad Dog Cycles. Group rides are open to riders of all skill levels, so we have a "no drop" policy, ensuring everyone sticks together and enjoys the ride.

Additional details about MDC group rides:
  • No Drop policy, stop intermittently to ensure all riders are together
  • Self supported – bring your own water and food, plus clothing for the weather
  • Pace: 14-18 mph, but adjust to the skill of the group
  • Route: The route will be chosen based on skill of the group and time of year - prepare to enjoy a fun, challenging ride with other riders

Here is the schedule for the remainder of the group ride season. If you would like to help one of these days, contact me.

October 2 will be our last ride, since 24 Hours of Moab, our season-ending event, is on the 9th. Once I hear back from you guys about leading group rides, I will update the calendar. There are only six left, let's make them great!
