Pearland Cycling Club Saturdays

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

SATURDAYS:
May - September at 7:30am

Club rides are on the open roads of Brazoria County with minimal traffic and good roads.

New Riders: On the first Saturday of each month, we will have special attention paid to new riders. The ride will be at a slower pace (up to 15 mph) but will give new riders the ability to get acquainted with the club and its rides. New riders are welcome at all times, but the first Saturday will have dedicated PCC members available for guidance. For more information contact Justin.

Saturday Ride: This is our regular Saturday ride. Multiple pace groups - usually 14-, 15-17, 18-20 and 21+. Routes vary from 30-55 miles. See the Maps section for the routes. Ride Start times are posted to the left. Meet beginning about 30 minutes prior to the ride start.

PCC has group rides every weekend in the Pearland and surrounding areas. Our ride start is conveniently located near FM 518 and Highway 288 only 20 minutes south of Downtown Houston.

We ride on rural roads with light traffic, few traffic lights, and just a handful of stop signs. We have access to some of the best cycling roads in the Metropolitan Houston area.

Several ride pace groups to satisfy everyone from our race enthusiasts to our general fitness folks who also enjoy social aspects of cycling.
