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 and 19.5 mph.
We will sometimes have a Power Glider group that will average up to 20.5
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. If there are more than 15 riders who will participate in
the pace line, please form two groups. 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.

A Note About Time
You
should be ready to ride when you arrive at the ride start point. If you
need extra time to assemble your bicycle, get dressed, or eat breakfast, plan
to arrive before the scheduled meeting time. Gather around the ride leader at
about five minutes before the scheduled departure time for the route briefing and
introductions. If you are unable to make the gathering, let the ride
leader know that you are present before the ride departs.
