Saturday Morning Club Ride
Time: 9:00 a.m. start time during daylight savings, 10:00 start during winter months. Please be there on time ready to ride.
Regarding winter riding....please dress appropriately! Hypothermia is a vey real threat in cold, wet conditions. Here are some guidelines:
–Thermal tights and a warm first layer for your core area
–Long sleeved jersey or arm and leg warmers
–Booties (these are shoe covers, they repel water/wind to help keep your feet warm)
–Warm gloves (thicker than you think if it is near 40 degrees out). If it's raining, bring an extra pair if you've got them.
–A good rain coat (Gore Bike Wear and Showers Pass are great brands)
And lastly, PLEASE install fenders on your bike! Bolted on, full fenders are the best. Fenders keep you drier, especially your back side, but also keep from spraying the rider behind you. If you don't have fenders, plan on bringing up the rear of the pack.
Place: This ride alternates weekly between St. Honore Boulangerie (24th and Thurman) and River City Bicycles (706 SE MLK). Members can check our Yahoo Groups Calendar for current location. You do NOT have to be a Sorella member to join a ride! If you want to join us for a ride but are not a member, please email
for the ride starting location that week and to let her know you'll be joining us.
Pace: This is a recreational ride. Typical trip average speed is in the 13-15mph range. New riders welcome. Be prepared to ride 30-50 miles, depending on weather. No one gets dropped!
