Ride Dates: May 3 to May 17

 

 

STS means SPRING TRAINING SERIES...

 

Whether you're training for a big ride event like the OutCycling Pride Ride (Sunday, June 8th) or just want to keep riding after STS Pt. 1, STS Pt. 2 can help you achieve your cycling goals.

 

Series Summary
 

Rides are fun, friendly, and informal. The routes follow quiet roads as much as possible. These routes give the STS rides a more relaxed, social feel. We will continue what we started in Part 1 with routes ranging from 60 to 80 miles, improving our strength and endurance, all while taking in some lovely scenery. We'll explore places beyond the New York City Limits in surrounding counties.

 

The rides are self-supported, meaning we do not have formal "leads or sweeps," and we ask all riders to be comfortable navigating with RidewithGPS (we provide) and fixing flats on their own. If you are unsure what any of that means, don’t worry — it’s not complicated and we will help you get up and running in online workshops before the series starts.

 

We endeavor to run “no-drop” rides (no one gets left behind), but we do ask that you come into the rides with a sense of your riding capabilities. You should be able to ride in the 13-17mph* range by the time you take these routes on. 

* Typical speeds "on the flats." Not the average ride speed shown by your GPS app.

 

Be sure to RSVP to each ride you'd like to join.

Route specifics are subject to change as the ride date approaches

 

Shorter Distance Options are available on many of the rides for people who prefer shorter rides or simply don't have the time for a longer ride that day. Many of the shorter distance options require a train or subway ride to return. In the list of rides to the right (or below if you're on a mobile device), when you see 🚇after a mileage number it means that distance involves a subway return. When you see 🚆after a mileage number it means that distance involves a commuter train return (MetroNorth, LIRR). Since these routes branch off from the standard, it is very important that you download these alternate routes in Ride with GPS so you can navigate yourself.

 

Longer Distance Options are also provided for riders who want to push themslves a little harder. While these extended routes do reconnect with the standard one, you might not reconnect with the other riders.

 

Lots of options for all types of riders. Sign up today.
