The MOTR ride is a great fit for the intermediate rider who has spent some time on the bike riding in groups and on urban roads, but is looking for a bit more challenge in distance and speed.
This no drop, co-ed ride averages 17-20mph. The ride typically starts in one large group of 50+ people, and naturally splits into intermediate and advanced groups. Routes vary from 38-50 miles on in-town bike routes and/or on roads with low to moderate traffic. Riders for this group should have experience riding in groups and understand the etiquette of group riding, be able to change a tire and address minor mechanical issues.
General group ride expectation: helmet, bike in good working condition, water and nutrition, flat changing tools, and no headphones or tri-bars. We encourage you to ride your bike to the shop. However, if you do drive, please park in the street. Juan Pelota Cafe opens at 7am and is located inside Mellow Johnny's.
For pre-ride coffee or snack, meet at Juan Pelota Café a half hour before ride time.
