Group Rides

Saturday Beginner / Intermediate Ride

This ride is designed to inspire and educate, not “drop” and humiliate! Whether you are starting to ride for the first time, or getting back in the saddle after a long hiatus, our Saturday rides are fun and challenging from start to stop. Come join us, learn, advance, and ride a bike!

Speed / Duration

We average 13-16mph for 20-25 miles, encountering small climbs and descents, pushing, and improving your skill level. We regroup at EVERY major, challenging section and NOBODY gets left behind.

Details

• When: Every Saturday
• Where: 1785 Newport Blvd (The Cyclist Costa Mesa)
• Start: 7:30 AM (Come early for a pre-ride coffee or quick bike “pit stop” before we roll.)

Saturday Advanced Ride

We have latched on to a well-established, local ride that travels from Pete’s Coffee on PCH and Avacado in Newport beach, to the Queen Mary in Long Beach, and back. The ride from our shop (meeting at 7am SHARP), to the Queen, and back is approximately 44 miles, averaging 20-24 mph. This is a large, advanced, group-ride, NOT FOR BEGINNERS. This group will exceed 30 mph at times. If you are an advanced rider, looking to improve your skills, and push your abilities to their limit, this is your ride.
