GENESEO — Every Wednesday night, the Livingston Cycling Club holds a social ride beginning at the Cyclepath bike shop in Geneseo.
Each of the Wednesday night rides has an A group, B group, and C group option. Each group is led by at least one designated LCC member. Before each ride, group leaders send out an email with the routes so that riders know what is in store for the evening and what time to meet.
According to the club’s website, http://livingstoncyclingclub.com, the A group is a drop ride typically averaging 17- 19 mph, depending on the day and the course. This group is for experienced riders.
The B group is a no-drop ride typically averaging between 14-16 mph, and is a good group for most beginners and a great way for riders to prepare for the A group. This group’s pace allows for conversation while riding. The B group does the same route as the A group and at times will pick up riders who fall off the back of the faster group.
The C group is the hybrid and beginner road bike group. This group rides shorter courses than the A and B groups of 10 – 15 miles, and averages 10-12 mph. This group is a great start for a road rider who might want to move up to longer riders eventually. It’s also a great choice for a road or hybrid rider looking for a more casual ride.
