Novices are welcome! One of my goals for this ride is to be a place where riders looking to step up from a beginner-level ride can continue to develop group-ride skills and etiquette in a safe and encouraging environment, while still providing enough challenge for more advanced riders to stretch their legs a bit. Safety and respect are my top priorities so we will share the road responsibly. Hammerheads will be reigned in!

-Helmet (Required for all riders, no exceptions)
