It’s time to get back on the bike, meet new friends, and acquire some new cycling skills. For the months of April -September, Kathy Foster and I will be leading a ride from the parking lot of Whidbey Island Bank at 920 W. Bakerview Road, which is at the corner of Northwest Ave and Bakerview Road. (Please enter from the Northwest-Aldrich Road side entrance and park only in the spaces in the north side lot. We received special permission to park here on Tuesday nights.) We will meet at 5:45PM and leave promptly at 6:00PM. Distance and speed will be determined by the ability of the group, but initially will average 14 to 15 miles per hour and the distance will be 10 to miles. The focus of this ride is to introduce the skills necessary to ride in groups. We will concentrate on safe riding practices, paceline skills, how to over take other riders and pass them in a safe manner and how to deal with traffic. On the nights that the weather does not cooperate, we have an area where we can work on things like fixing a flat tire, minor bike maintenance, and bike fit.
This is the ride you will want to do if you are afraid to ride in groups, want to do a ride like STP or RSVP or practice riding in a paceline.
