The Thursday Night Fitness Ride welcomes all riders who want to improve their skill and enjoyment of cycling. The long route is 28.7 miles for rolling hills through Concord, Acton, Chelmsford and Carlisle. The 26 mile route makes a slight detour into Kate's Corner and picks up the long route arrows on Proctor Road. There is an optional Alt 22 mile route for limited daylight and casual riding. Groups are divided into 6-8 riders each by average pace which ranges from 15 to 22+ mph. There will be a no-drop paceline to practice safe group riding skills for up to 6 riders. We ride around 13 - 15 mph and pick up the pace depending on the experience of the participants. Led Paceline rides are generally the first Thursday of each month. Cancellation due to poor weather is posted before 4 PM.
