Saturday Morning Training Rides Join us each Saturday morning to ride into shape for the June 6, 2010 MS Bike Tour! ALL riding abilities are welcomed and no rider will be abandoned. Cue sheets will be available for every rider each week. All rides are rain or shine and ‘Ride at your own Risk’. Helmets are required. There are two starting locations to choose from: Griffin Center in Windsor and Rite Aid Pharmacy in East Windsor. Times shown below are subject to change due to inclement weather! The rides out of Griffin Center tend to be more casual and split into two groups. One group rides a 10-25 mile route with an average speed of 12-15 mph. The second group tends to ride 15-18mph and will start with a 25 miler and eventually offer 35, 50, and 75 miles closer to the Tour date. The rides out of Rite Aid Pharmacy tend to be a faster pace with an average of 16-19 mph. Starting in April, they will help those riding the 100-Mile MS Tour become familiar with the part of the route that’s on the east side of the river.
