Building up to a century ride

Add 10% distance per week. Long slow rides build endurance. Eat before you are hungry, drink before you are thirsty.

Group ride etiquette

Hold your line, point out hazards, and dont overlap wheels. Predictable riders are safe riders. Communicate constantly.

The amount of free knowledge in this group is incredible. Better than any book.

Share your best rides! Quiet country roads, scenic loops, low-traffic options. Always note the climbing and where to refill water.

First road bike buying advice
Jun 16, 2025 12:47 pm
Fit matters more than components. A well-fitted aluminum bike beats an expensive carbon bike that doesnt fit. Get measured.

Essential gear for new riders
Jun 15, 2025 3:47 am
A helmet, padded shorts, a spare tube, and a mini pump. Padded shorts are not optional - your body will thank you.
