Due to Covid we are only allowed to cycle in groups of 10. Therefore, we are organizing two Tourist-Class WW rides each Wednesday. The “A” ride will depart at 9:30 and will be for slightly faster riders – Average speed over a typical WW ride of greater than 23 kmph. The “B” ride will depart at 10:00 and will be at a slower speed – 20-23 kmph. If you do not ride at an average speed of at least 20 kmph – WW is not for you.
We will keep the two groups socially distanced. Wear a mask in the parking lot. If you are riding in the “B” group, please do not arrive at the starting location until after the “A’ group departs at 9:30. Or stay in your car.
Lunch break – both groups will be riding the same routes. Again to maintain social distance the “A” group should not stay at the lunch stop for more than 30 minutes.
These rides will be open for registration starting from Fri Apr 30 at 12:01am until Tue Mar 4 at 11:59pm. There will be a wait list. To allow everyone a chance to ride – please do not register for both rides. There will be no guest registrations during the pandemic.
Cancellations – if you register and later determine that you cannot ride – please, please cancel as soon as possible to allow someone on the wait list a chance to join the event. Please don't be a No Show!
Check the website 2 hours before the start time - the ride could be rescheduled or cancelled at the discretion of the organizers.
