What kind of ride are you looking for? Need motivation to ride? Sign up to be an "ambassador" of a Team Revolution ride. As we grow we'll be able to accommodate more and more riding levels. Below you'll see we're really focusing on the ROAD (for now), but given our soft spot for rough terrain we still want to find time for mountain biking. That said, we especially need some mountain bikers to consistently head up some trail rides. If you feel like you can commit to riding a specific course every week, let us know. We'll make your ride "official" and will post it here (and on the forum!) + Saturday/Sunday: Riding 101 {EASY to STEADY ROLLER} Questions? Meet at the Art Museum's westside parking lot (on top of Art Hill) in Forest Park (Note: this is NOT yet a weekly event, since Carrie usually runs it and if we're traveling to a race, it's just not happening). Riding 101 (as we've coined it) is somewhat of an instructional ride to reacquaint riders with the bike or equipment upgrades (like clipless pedals, etc.). It's also a place where a rider can learn to feel more comfortable riding with other people and building a base fitness in a safer environment than open roads. + Monday Night Ride {HIGH to ROCKnROLLER} Questions? Monday night at 370 and Elm (St. Charles) is a good ride to test and build fitness. It's a FLAT and often windy course that goes along paved (farm) roads in North County. There is a fast ride that leaves at 6pm; on days that we term "Intermediate" we'll ride with women that want to improve pack riding skills and fitness. It's a 25-28 mile course that, even on intermediate days, a rider should expect to average no less than 18mph. It's a great place to test yourself. + Tuesday: Riverfront Ride {EASY / STEADY / HIGH ROLLER} Questions? Tuesday afternoon/evening ride leaves from Lafayette Square and head to the Riverfront Trail.This is mostly flat with the majority of the ride taking place on a trail (away from traffic). It's a simple out and back where you can do as much as you're comfortable with. Our friend, Audrey, has agreed to run that ride (which leaves from her house on the Square) and she's said the pace is pretty easy. If you've been apprehensive about joining us on the Wednesday night ride, this one's a good place to try and pick up your pace and increase fitness in a safer environment. + Wednesday: No Stop/No Drop {STEADY to HIGH ROLLER} Questions? Wednesday night is our flagship "NO DROP" ride where we will go at the pace of the slowest rider; we expect to consistantly pedal without "taking breaks" but want to ensure every rider finishes with another rider or coordinator. Since we've had so many "regulars" on the rides this year (which is GREAT!), the pace is steady and can be high for beginners. Generally, it falls into two distinct riding groups. We'll always make sure no one is left behind, but we've been told by many first-timers that the hills are quite challenging and we recommend a good fitness level before committing to this ride
