Weekend Bikes

Saturday Long Ride

This ride typically leaves Georgetown behind the bank at Wisconsin and M NW “8:30 am Oct-April (fall and winter) and 7:30 am April- Oct (spring and summer). Rides meet on a week-to-week basis – follow the Saturday morning ride group to determine if a ride is happening this weekend. All paces welcome!

All paces welcome, but riders must be self-sufficient with some road experience. Paces depend on who shows up- consider reaching out to other club members of similar pace to encourage them to join you! While we will start together and mostly regroup a couple of times throughout the ride, riders must be self-sufficient, meaning they have the route, flat kit, and fuel they need to complete their own ride.

Weekend Bike

Sunday Bike with the Vertical Swimmer

This weekly Sunday Bike is perfect for those training for an Ironman, Half Iron, or who just want to ride long distances on Sundays. The group meets in behind the bank at M and Wisconsin in Georgetown at 7:00 AM. The schedule is based on the ride lead (Tuan)’s racing schedule, approximately May to September, with distances ranging between 60-120 miles. The largest group averages 17-19 mph (route is rolling hills) but other pace groups form. Tuan emails out weekly cue sheets and updates.

Virtual
