Shorter (<10 miles),
Slower   (<10 mph)
Rides ​      (for 10 or fewer people)

Sometimes we want to go on slower, shorter rides. 
We want to chill out, and turn down the temperature on riding.

• It might be because we're relatively new to riding in groups, and we want to ease into the whole cycling thing.
• It might be because we're dealing with physical constraints, caused by injuries or aging. 
• ​It might be simply to enjoy casual riding with new friends, on new routes or old favorites.  

This page is dedicated to sharing information for newer riders, and for finding relaxed ways to ride. Send articles and ideas to:  GVRcycling@gmail.com
