PHENOM Saturday Morning Ride

Type

Road

Level

Novice
Rides suitable for cyclists who are new to the sport (or who have not been on a bike for some years), family-friendly rides or any riders that feel a need for some mentoring. Note: please note that minors under the age of 16 cannot participate in rides unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Families with children should, in any event, confirm with the ride leader ahead of time that the ride will be suitable for their needs.

Intermediate
Targeted towards riders who have a few years in the saddle, who have developed some riding confidence and fitness and feel ready to move to the next level. Could attract more experienced riders who are looking for a relaxed or less aggressive ride.

Advanced
Limited to experienced riders with superior bike handling skills and who are comfortable with a fast pace (probably including single and/or double pace-line riding) and/or hilly terrain, and the possibility of heavily trafficked roads. Advanced rides are less likely to be "no-drop" unless identified as such.

Description

The PHENOM Saturday Morning ride meets at 8AM at Cycleast on E Cesar Chavez, every Saturday, rain or shine. Coffee, tacos, and snacks are available from Flat Track Coffee inside of Cycleast before and after the ride. The ride rolls at 830 for 50 miles of rolling hills at a 16-18 MPH average pace.

We typically head southeast at a solid tempo pace, rolling out together and depending on ride size and the leader's discretion, a smaller faster group may split off for a higher-paced intensity workout once the ride leaves the city limits. There is typically one regroup/water stop at a midpoint, followed by a paceline back to Cycleast.

It is a drop ride, and comfortably handling a bike in a paceline is expected and recommended for safety. Come out and start your weekend out right, rolling with the PHENOM Saturday Morning Ride!
