Natick Evening Road Ride

Description:  The Wednesday Evening Road Ride is intended to get riders who want an evening/after-work road ride together in the same place.

If there’s enough interest, this will be the kick off for future after-work rides starting in Natick. It’s important that you attend to demonstrate your interest and to have a say in the future start time and day of the week. This ride will be a fun 15-18mph pace, averaging to approximately 16mph. Faster on the downhills, slower on the uphills. We ride steady and ride safely. There are a couple of hills and straights where everyone can go one’s preferred pace & we re-group at the end of the section so no one gets dropped/lost.

We have one leader for this ride, and there are re-group points so a variety of paces are accommodated.
