ENTHUSIASTS
(& 'TWEENIES)
(B or C Groups)
Come out for a bike ride with us on over 100 annual rides and enjoy the benefits of group riding. You'll be glad you signed on for both the fun and fitness.
Chilkoot Velo offers "Enthusiast" riders (B Group) a wide variety of paces and distances. Maybe you want to ride at a conversational pace and focus on the social aspects of riding or perhaps you want to do a fitness ride at a moderate pace. We have a ride for you!
You are also invited to join any 'competive' rides knowing that they are typically faster “drop rides”, and they expect riders to be able to repair their own bikes.
'Tweenies" (C Group) ae those who'd prefer slightly shorter and slower rides than the A's and B's, but not as short or slow as our "Socialites" (D Group)
