Saturday No-Drop Road Ride (call the shop or check out our Facebook page for scheduling updates):
Join us for our Saturday morning shop ride! It is a "no drop" ride. The store will open 30 minutes prior to the ride. There will be two groups, group A is 16 mph+ and group B 16 mph- average speed. Each group will stop at turns, so that riders can regroup. Rides are typically on country roads in upper Montgomery, Eastern Frederick, Western Howard & Southern Carrol Counties. Road bikes & helmets are required. For the enjoyment of all riders, please be sure you can maintain at least 16 mph for the A group & 13mph for the B group. We hope you are able to join us for the one of our rides this summer. For more information or details, please call us at the shop at 301-253-5800, or email us at aabikes@aol.com NOTE: Our ride/no-ride policy is 40^+ and no precipitation at time ride starts. Overnight temperatures must be above freezing, so that we can avoid "black ice".
Saturday No-Drop Virtual Road Ride on Zwift
When the weather turns too cold or rainy, we take our rides indoors. Join our Zwift cycling club AABC Saturday Shop Ride and join the weekly ride. The ride goes from 8am - 10am. You can join for all or part of the ride. It is structured as a "no drop" ride for everyone (E) to participate in. There is a "fence" so speedy riders won't get too far ahead. There is also a "rubber band" effect, so as long as you keep pedaling with the group you will be able to keep up.
To participate in our ride, you will need to join our "AABC Saturday Shop Ride" Zwift club. Click on or copy/paste/click the link below.
