Beginner Ride - Sunday, July 28

Post by Rhino » Sat Jul 06, 2013 11:57 am

Beginner rides are for new riders, riders who haven't done group riding before, or riders who want to ride with FWMR at a nice easy pace. If you feel like a Moderate ride might be too fast for your comfort level, this is the ride you want to attend. Speeds stay at legal limits, no corners are taken too fast, and we ride at the pace of the slowest person. Nobody gets left behind, and nobody gets pushed to their limits.

This ride will leave from the IHOP at I-20 and Little Rd in south Arlington. Pre-ride brief is at 8am, with the ride to depart immediately after.

Please show up in full gear (jacket, long pants, boots, gloves, and helmet) with a full gas tank ready to ride.

We'll be back in town by lunchtime, but there will be an opportunity for yummy snacking along the way. I don't have an exact route figured out, I should probably go ahead and do that this week... :)

If you are going to West, lunch can be had at that stop just not delicious desserts. I might be in depending on how I feel...

The problem is that on a beginner ride, it won't be lunchtime when we're there. I try to keep them short, especially in the summer.
