This Week's Group Rides

I have updated the calendar to reflect the departure of all mid-week evening group rides to be 6pm now throughout the summer, until it's time to turn them back to 5:30. This also includes the Wednesday night ride from South Portland that Tracey and Spencer have been leading. Contact either of them for more info.)

I have also added the Sunday morning ride at 10am to the calendar. This is a casual ride and can be determined by the group as to the route and distance based on who decides to show up and not so much a structured ride. If we hear of anyone that wants to ride a specific route for this ride then we'll post it here.

Pass the word regarding the newly formed Women's Ride Tuesday nights. We had a dozen riders the first night and I anticipate the numbers to grow throughout the summer. The pace for this ride is recreational at this point and averaging around 14-15mph. It's not important for this group to go fast, it's more about a group of women getting together and share the experience of riding with other women. It's a friendly atmosphere and a good place for novice riders to pick up tips and techniques from their fellow female riders.

Do you realize that with the formation of the Women's ride Tuesdays, the Prout's Neck Loop ride Wednesdays and the Sunday morning ride we now have rides almost ever day of the week? There is a ride for everyone and all riding abilities, reinforcing our name of Community Cycling Club of Portland!
