Local Group Rides

Veloccino Saturday Morning "A" and "B" rides

Rides roll at 9am most of the year from Veloccino Map

We will adjust it as the seasons change to take advantage of warmer or cooler temperaturesThere are usually two rides. "A" and "B"

  • "A" rides are usually a bit longer (40-60 miles) and tend to average 20-21mph
  • "B" rides are usually around 30-45 miles and average 18mph. (We try not to drop riders but it can happen)

All of this can depend on who shows up, the weather, season, the moon phase, and the number of croissants in the pastry display so use it as a guide.
