Billsburg Casual Sunset Ride

Casual Tuesday evening ride for new cyclists, returning cyclists, and those recovering from injury.  An opportunity to get in, or back in, the saddle with the support of long-time cyclists.  An opportunity to get comfortable riding on a regular basis.

6:00 p.m.:  Pre-ride check and discussion of topics important to bicycling:  checking your bicycle, riding safely, riding in a group, shifting, pacing yourself, etc.

6:15 p.m.:  Start riding on the Virginia Capital Trail heading west.  No auto traffic except where the trail crosses roads.  So that no one rides alone, we will use a "buddy system."

Goals:

• Establish a comfortable starting pace and then, over time, slowly increase your average pace (e.g., by 1-2 mph).  On these rides, the pace will not exceed 10 mph.
• Continue developing your knowledge of, and endurance for, bicycling
• Eventually participate in other WAB rides, e.g., the Tuesday evening "D" rides

Following the ride, join fellow cyclists at the Billsburg Brewery (BB) for refreshments and social time.  BB offers $1 off beers and soft drinks to members of the Billsburg Cycling Club.  Register at BB before the ride if you want a BB t-shirt after 10 rides.

Please pre-register for the ride.  Any cancellation will be posted by 4:00 p.m.
