Tuesday Rides are “drop” rides

Ride description – Starting in 2020 BV will have 2 groups that both leave at 5:45. The A group will average over 20 mph and the B group will average from 17 to 19 mph. The B group will have an identified group leader and he will work with those riders on pacing and rotation. The B group is “NO DROP” ride but that ride leader will be very mindful of any new riders/juniors/etc. and make sure they make it safely around the loop. The A group will be a DROP ride at race pace and limited stops. Please check out NWA Bellview Cycling (Facebook) for route maps, weekend start times/locations, and weather related issues. We welcome all riders!

Notes:

Bring adequate fluids/water. There aren’t any planned rest stops.
You should have a replacement tube for your bike and a CO2 cartridge or pump.
Wear approved cycling helmet – required.
Riders must be 18 or older.
Please stay off aero bars when riding with a group.

Rides are not “no-drop” or beginner rides

Ride description – The Bellview Road Ride has evolved into a more aggressive ride with average speeds now ranging from 18 -20 mph.  Some riders are racers and the remaining riders are cycling enthusiasts.  The spirited ride is more flat than other rides in NWA but still has some short power efforts. Their are regroups, within reason, but the ride would no longer be considered “no drop.”  We welcome all new riders to join us and we try to account for all riders at the grouping spots.
