Our motto: A bad day outdoors beats a good day indoors!
Spring Cycling 2012AdventuRides
Join us as we explore 3 different routes each week over scenic country roads and enough civilized off-road routes to keep things interesting. We are mere mortals who believe "fitness is fun". We'll get great exercise and discover new places together. Starting locations vary each week, but will always be within 1/2 hour drive of Groton, Massachusetts. You will receive ride information each week by email and our website. Please make sure to register your email address. The first ride is free- come check us out
Equipment needed: You should be able to handle our rides on almost any well-maintained bike. An ANSI approved bicycle helmet and the ability to ride 1 1/2 to 2 hours (recreational rides ) or 3 hours (fitness rides) are also required. You will need to sign our waiver form before participating.
Recreational rides: MONDAYS We will cycle approximately 12-18 miles at a leisurely pace adjusted to the desires and abilities of the group. The Recreation Rides combine on road and some civilized off road. A sturdy road bike will work, but you will generally be happier with a hybrid bike. You will get a better workout on a mountain bike, but we never go that far off road. Each ride will be different. Therefore, we encourage you to do one or both recreational rides on Mondays.
Locations: Local areas
Time: 9:30-11:30am or 12:30-2:30pm
Dates: April 2, 9, 23, 30, May 14, 21, 4, 11 June 18 *if school still in session
Fitness rides: FRIDAYS These rides are designed to allow longer rides in the morning without the difficulty of getting back on the bike after (optional) lunch. Seriously, we will ride 20-30 miles at a moderate pace, with time for sightseeing. The Fitness Rides will be mostly on road, although we will ride dirt / gravel roads, and we recommend either a sturdy road bike or a hybrid bike. A mountain bike will work, but you will need to work extra hard to keep up.
Locations: Local areas
Time: 9:30am-12:30pm
Dates: April 13, 27, May 4, 18, 25, June 1, 8, 15, 22*if school still in session
Cost:
Option 1: One ride per week (you choose and don't need to be consistent) $96
Option 2: Unlimited rides per week $125
Ride Leaders: Bill Brandt is an escapee from the world of high tech. He owns several non-traditional bikes, including one that fits in the tiny trunk of his sports car. Carole Greenfield has been riding with friends and groups for over 20
years. She wants to share her enthusiasm for exercise, fresh air and
scenery with others.
