Back again for this season: Level 2 Rides! Longer and faster with minimal breaks. These rides are more focused on building fitness and endurance, with a social time after for those who’d like to join. Routes are longer and marginally more challenging and, aside from a quick regroup after any particularly spicy segments, will not have breaks. If you're consistently averaging around 20 km/h on your own, these rides could be a good fit for you.

We're aiming for a steady 25 km/h on the roads, with an overall ride speed average of a little over 20 km/h. Routes will vary from about 20km to 40km in length. We’re planning a mix of terrain (paths, roads, gravel). Routes will repeat throughout the season. In the event that you can't hold the pace, catch up when you get a second wind or self-drop and join us at the finish or another time.

First Level 2 Ride of the season: Monday May 11. Rides will be every other Monday. Meet at 6:45, ride out at 7:00 at Elgin and Gladstone (gathering in the southwest corner of St. Luke’s Park).

Bring: lights, water, helmet. Sign the waiver before you attend.
