About The Gliders
The Gliders are a group that strives to
maintain high training speeds over moderate distances and maintain the
integrity of the group. The average speed of our rides generally will
fall between 18.5 and 19.5 mph, which means
our cruising speed will often be around 21 mph. You must be capable of holding these speeds for
three to four hours in order to stay with the group. On
most rides, we stop once at a store. For full information about the group,
visit our web page.
To participate, you must sign the safety pledge, wear a helmet,
be able to change a flat tire, and have a capable road bike. You can agree to the safety pledge
on our web site.
If
you are not a club member, you can print a membership form from our web site.
