Offered during the summer and fall.
Introduction to group riding — a series of fun, socially paced rides will teach you the basics of riding on city streets.
Each year, starting in January, the club offers two spectacular training ride series: CCRS and PRS! Look for them on our ride calendar.
CCRS – Club Conditioning Ride Series
The Club Conditioning Ride Series (CCRS) is open to all club members. The CCRS starts mid-January and ends one week before the Cinderella Classic.
This is the perfect, no-drop series for T and M pace riders who want to improve their cycling and group-riding skills while building the strength and endurance sufficient to complete a full metric century (100K, or 62 miles).
PRS – Progressive Ride Series
The Progressive Ride Series (PRS) is designed for M pace riders to get in condition to do the Primavera Workers’ Ride full century (100 miles) by riding some of the most stunning routes in the area. The PRS starts with shorter and flatter rides and gradually builds up to the full-century Primavera Worker’s Ride.
This is the perfect, no-drop series for experienced M pace riders who already have a base level of conditioning to build upon. All participants should also be experienced riding in groups and self-sufficient when it comes to changing flats and bringing enough food and water.
The PRS also features an M+ pace that is usually a show-and-go and well-attended. Ride leaders “volunteer” at the start of the ride. If enough riders show up, a B pace cohort may also form. Riders, please bring sign-in sheets and accident reporting forms so everyone may receive credit for their rides. Those can be found under the menu item Ride Leader Resources Guide.
