[NEW ROUTE since 8/2] Saturday B Ride to Leesburg & Back

Ride Expectations: 

Our goal is to ride in a steady paceline of 19-21 mph both to and from Leesburg. When you are on the front, please make an effort to hold a steady pace so that the group behind you can follow the wheels easily without tons of accelerating and braking. We ask that if you choose not to pull in the paceline, you stay at the back of the group and make sure it is clear to others so that the group rotates efficiently.

Ride Safety Guidelines:

1. You must be registered for the ride on the RBC website. 
2. Do not cross the centerline of the road or pass slowing/stopped cars. Stay in the right lane of traffic at all times, except for when moving across to make a left turn.
3. You are responsible for the riders behind you. Do not enter an intersection unless it is safe for all of the riders behind you.
4. Help the group flow smoothly by protecting your front wheel, merging carefully into the draft, and holding your line and position into corners. If you don't want to pull, please communicate that clearly to other riders and stay at the back of the group so as to avoid disrupting the rotation at the front.
5. No e-bikes are allowed. No TT bikes, clip on aero bars or riding in “puppy paws” position. All bikes must have front and rear brakes - no fixies.
