Saturday A/B Ride to Leesburg & Back

Ride Expectations

A group - hard paceline of 22+ mph (single or double line depending on group size). We expect that every rider in the group will roll through in the paceline. If you need to skip some turns to catch your breath that is absolutely OK, but if you are planning to join a group and sit in and not pull at all, we ask that you join a slower group. 

B group (will roll out 5 mins after the A group) - a steady paceline of 19-21 mph. 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. Please respect the pace of the B group - average of 19-21 mph, no "hero pulls" or "watt bombs," no passing on the right, etc.

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. 
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.
