Welcome to SABCo’s Tuesday Night Ride! This club ride meets every Tuesday at 6:00 for the extent of the season and features A (drop ride at 20+ mph) and B (no-drop ride at 16 mph) groups.
Our official start date for 2024 is March 26, and we’ll go until September 10. Ride starts promptly at 6:00, with a safety meeting and announcements starting at 5:50.
Many of us are friends with Shelby Ave Bicycle Company, but this club ride is not commercially or legally affiliated with the bike shop.
A group: 18 – 20+ mph. This is a drop group with a single collection point after the climb on Knight at KIPP middle school. Expect to ride and know how to ride in a paceline and alongside a decent amount of other riders at various levels of strength and skill. Drinks on the curb at SABCo after the ride!
*Note: Given the number of people that show up for A group, we observe the yell-at-you-if-you-pull-some-dumb-shit rule, e.g., don’t cross the double yellow to pass other riders, take the bike lane when there’s traffic behind/in front of us on Riverside, and be mindful of traffic laws at lights and stop signs.
B group: 16 – 18 mph. This is a no-drop group that will follow the same route as the A group but will maintain a slower average speed. Meet at the end of the ride for drinks on the curb at SABCo!
**Note: Our route of choice, and what we’ve done for years now, takes us through urban and high-traffic areas. Bring front and back lights, especially for early season, and stay aware of traffic.
