Tuesday Night Training Ride

Please make plans to us for our weekly Tuesday night ride.

We gather at the Riverfront trailhead ( Biddle St & N Leonor K Sullivan Blvd Saint Louis, MO 63102 ) by 5:30 PM and plan to be rolling by 5:45 PM.  There is construction near the Arch grounds, so allow yourself extra time to get there.
  Streets are changing frequently, it may be best to Google map Lumiere  (http://www.lumiereplace.com/) and then zig / zag to the start.  FYI that the trailhead parking lot is chewed up with a construction project right now and late comers may need to street park.

• We try hard to keep the Tuesday night ride, especially, comfortable for everyone.  Fast, slow, young, old - the Tuesday night ride has been a popular weeknight training option for several years now.  While not exactly a "no drop" ride, our faster and more experienced riders are happy to dart ahead and circle back. 

• The full route will be about 27 miles and relatively flat.  We will be doing an "out and back" configuration on a dedicated bike trail (no roadways other than a quick crossing) so riders just getting their legs this year should feel comfortable turning around at any point without fear of being alone.  Slower riders are encouraged to focus on a one hour out, one hour back approach. 

• UbD rides are organized for the enjoyment and training needs of the group.  While every reasonable effort is taken to ensure comfort and safety, all riders participate at their own risk.

• Take sensible weather appropriate precautions including adequate chilled water and / or  sport beverages.

• Bring / wear / utilize appropriate and properly maintained equipment including a helmet.

• DO NOT attempt a distance or intensity beyond your skillset.  At the discretion of the ride organizer and / or segment leader, you may be directed to take a shorter course or cease riding.

• Blinkers and headlights are encouraged.

• More experienced riders are asked to keep an eye on less experienced riders as we will not have the benefit of an out and back configuration.

Looking forward to riding with you!
