What's Your Idea of a Perfect Group Ride?

[northstar]

Would you like to have a map?
Do the same route every week? Have A and B rides with different avg. speeds? Have one day of hills, one day of intervals, etc. or just a nice social ride where you can catch up with your cycling friends?

I'm looking to appeal to the people who are already in the club but also to attract other women to the rides, so that we have a good turnout every week.

Hi Kate...

I am happy to see your thread, because next season, I plan to join the Velo Bella rides. I would like a map (particularly if there are not regroup points or they're not no-drop rides). I think it's nice to have a couple set routes but not always run the same ones...keep things interesting, I guess!

It's nice to have A or B rides clearly labeled. JoAnn's breakdown seems typical to me.

Good luck!
