16mph
Gran Fondo Riders
Saturday we will start a new pace category for the Gran Fondo West Shorty (24 miles).
Same distance (24) and elevation (590’), but we will ride a faster pace.
16mph!
This ride is designated Group, but NOT no-drop. Nancy, our leader for the 16mph group this weekend, is great about keeping riders together and waits if all don’t get through at stop signs. But please be ready to ride the faster pace with
her group.
Reminder: pace means the speed you see as you ride, not the average at the end.
VBC pace is defined as the maximum pace on the flats without wind.
Uphill or into the wind most of us ride more slowly.
Downhill we enjoy the thrill!
If you’ve been riding the Shorty and are ready for a faster-paced
spin, please join Nancy on Saturday.
Note: The 14mph pace group has no leader at the moment.
Opportunity! Let Devin know if you’ll step up.
