PPA Social Rides

BEGINNER GROUP:

Rides are ideal for novices who would like to build confidence on the road and hone in on bike skills, all under the mentorship and guidance of fellow riders, and within the safety of a group. The pace of the ride is dictated by the slowest rider. The group stays together and no one is left behind. There is a ride captain and a backup vehicle. Rides are approximately 1,75 – 2 hours. The routes vary from week to week. Join us every Saturday, it’s free.
