Lets abuse our bodies in the spirit of "exercise" and "enjoyment" by riding up a hill and down that same hill at least 5 consecutive times.... more
At the end of the ride you'll earn the right to say "it's about 1.5 hours later than when I started this ride" and "I feel not as energetic as I did back then" followed by "oh well". Truly a prize to cherish.

DESCRIPTION: A half-century ride which will start off with Bo Lora's century ride but at a relaxed pace. This route goes the first 27 miles on the same roads as the century riders before we separate.

AVERAGE SPEED: 14 - 16 mph. A guide only; actual pace depends on the group and to maintain this average, there will probably be some faster stretches.
TERRAIN: Flat to rolling.
RIDER LEVEL: Experienced, self-confident riders who are comfortable and very safe in a group riding situation which could include pace-line riding, hilly terrain and exposure to urban traffic.

Whether you live in the area or are just visiting Boise and looking for a group to ride with, we'd love to have you join us on any of our rides! See above for our start locations and ... moredeparture times whether you're looking to pick up a road ride or break out the nobbies.
Our motto is "leave no one behind" and our group rides are no-drop.
For your full enjoyment of our weekly rides though, we strongly suggested the following riding ablilties/considerations:
Pace range: 15 to 18 MPH on mostly flat roads. Distance: 20 to 25 miles. Thursday night rides are social rides, followed by dinner and drinks at a local watering hole. This ride is perfect for new riders or those that would like to check out our club. Emphasis is placed on helping new riders learn how to be good group riders. As our group has expanded over the years, expect the ride to start in two or more packs, several minutes apart. This isn't a race, folks, but a way to separate our riders into groups that can be better managed on the road – both for us as cyclists and for drivers.
