Welcome new members and beginners. This is the ride for you! You will learn all you need to know for riding/group riding. We will cover rules of the road, group riding etiquette, clothing/gear, basic maintenance, tire changing, and reading a cue sheet. This is a 6 week series of rides. At the end of the series, you will be equipped with the skills to move on to longer or faster rides. We will meet rain or shine, but WILL NOT ride in the rain. Instead, we will cover topics such as maintenance and tire changing. This is the "slower" of the 2 rides I will lead today. If you are unsure which ride to take, start here this week. PLEASE NOTE, DUE TO THE HEAT, THIS WEEK'S RIDE WILL BE A LITTLE SHORTER. ALSO, DUE TO MAJOR ROADWORK ON BUCKLEY ROAD, WE WILL ROLL FORM PATCHOGUE TRAIN STATION RATHER THAN THE ECOLOGY PARK.
