Our inclusive, no-drop rides ensure no one gets left behind, creating a positive environment for cyclists of all levels. Join us and let us help you achieve your cycling goals while enjoying fun, fitness, and friendship.

A Group

  • Our A Group is designed for experienced cyclists who maintain speeds of 30 km/h or more over varied terrain. These rides are ideal for those looking to challenge themselves with faster paces, longer distances, and steady endurance efforts. Expect dynamic routes, minimal stops, and a focus on smooth group riding techniques. If you're an advanced rider seeking performance gains and a team to push you to the next level, the A Group is for you!

Our groups range in skill and speed:

B GROUP

  • Our B Group is perfect for intermediate cyclists looking to build endurance, improve speed, and sharpen their group riding skills. Riders in this category maintain a steady pace of 23 to 27 km/h over various terrains. These rides offer a balance of challenge and enjoyment, with friendly group dynamics and occasional stops. Whether you're stepping up from C-level rides or dialing back from A-level intensity, the B Group provides a supportive environment to grow your cycling abilities.

C GROUP

  • Our C Group offers a welcoming and relaxed pace for cyclists who prefer to ride at 23 km/h or less. These rides are ideal for beginners, recreational cyclists, or anyone looking to enjoy the journey without focusing on speed. With friendly group dynamics and regular stops, the emphasis is on fun, fitness, and building confidence on the road. Whether you're new to cycling or just enjoy a leisurely pace, the C Group ensures no one is left behind, making every ride a positive experience.
