My blathering: "Man, what happened to my legs?" You find yourself having one of those days, no gas, every little grade is an effort, the hills feel like you're barely moving. Well, don't beat yourself up trying to stay with the lead group hammerfest. Let yourself drop back to the main group or even the stragglers and enjoy the scenery. Our bodies let us know when it's time to 'just ride'. It might just turn the day around from, "I so suck!" to "Hey, that was a nice ride."
The Gold Ride is an Intermediate recreational ride, 30+ miles in length and averaging 12-14 mph. It is mandatory to have & wear a helmet. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is in good condition (check expiration on helmet inner tag) and that your bike is in working condition as well. This is a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). As always we will try to stick together & have a fun safe ride. We will regroup regularly and to allow everyone a chance to ride together.
Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Blvd. (between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the Shops/Market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants, we could be asked to park elsewhere.
