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.
