Ride Description: Welcome to Learners and Leaders, which is aimed at seasoned cyclists eager to share their knowledge, new riders keen to learn, and casual riders looking for camaraderie. We have a new format this year that begins in May with one month of basic training on flat, easy routes. In June, we’ll repeat the basic training and offer advanced rides for those ready to go beyond the basics and tackle more challenging routes that include hills. All rides start with a discussion of group dynamics, road cycling safety, and riding protocols. Our focus is not on “pushing the pace” but rather on guiding and nurturing our learning riders. Please note that riders should be able to maintain a riding pace of at least 12 mph for the basic group (May and June) and 13 mph for the advanced group (June). We strongly recommend road bikes for these rides. All teamCOPC rides prioritize safety and riding together as a group. Before joining us, we kindly ask you to review the rider expectations at www.teamCOPC.org. To stay updated on our rides and events, join the teamCOPC Rides email list on the same website.
