This is our fastest (and funnest??!!) level of group ride. Our mechanic & aspiring pro-triathlete, Fiona, will lead this ride. 30-50 miles, at 16-18mph pace. Before the ride starts we will go over the basics of ride safety, the route & other important information. After the ride, snacks & drinks will be waiting for us at the shop!
I joined BFF's endurance ride in May and it was a blast, even considering the fact I went down. I highly recommend this ride to anyone who's curious about road group riding, its very beginner friendly.
The route may change but this the ride from May:
- route to hometown coffee in glencoe
- I averaged 15.4 mph
- I was "dropped" in the sprints but I kept up otherwise
- I tracked 39 miles
- The 2 sprint sections put me in my place but its a "no-drop" ride so the sprint group will wait for the pace group/stragglers
- I was the only one on a vintage with flat pedals and not in a road kit and didn't feel weird at all
