For Your Safety:

Helmets are mandatory.

Non-members must sign the waiver before the ride, see Ride Host for waiver.

Please come prepared with: route slip, fluids, snacks, spare tubes, tire pump, and other gear necessary for incidental repairs. Cell phones and money are recommended.

GVC Rides

GVC welcomes riders of almost all abilities to participate in Club Rides. Club Rides are structured and place considerable emphasis on prior planning and rider safety.. Club rides are generally held every Saturday and Sunday, starting from the parking lot on the SE corner of Green Valley Parkway and Pebble Road in Henderson. Club ride start times vary depending upon time of year and weather conditions; so please check the specific day and ride for the start time. We try to start pedaling at the start time, so if you need prep time, it is best to arrive early. 

If a GVC ride leader/host is not present at the start of the ride, the ride is no longer considered a GVC ride. Cyclists present may continue on a ride together; but the GVC is not responsible for any aspect of the ride. 

After Club Rides, we typically gather at the Starbuck's patio for refreshments and social time.

Riders are expected to come prepared with fluids, snacks, spare tubes, tire pumps, and other gear necessary for incidental repairs. Helmets are mandatory. Cell phones and extra cash are recommended. Failure to come prepared for a ride places you and your fellow riders at unnecessary risk.

RIDE GUIDELINES

The following descriptions have been established as a way to help riders choose a ride that will meet their own personal goals and objectives. Distance, pace, challenge, regroup points, and sweeper are the criteria used by the ride leaders in planning rides.

(A) 40-60 miles, 18-25 mph, moderate to difficult climbs, regroup at top of major climbs, no sweeper or rest stops.
(B) 30-50 miles, 14-16 mph, flat and/or moderate climbs, regroup mid way, sweeper waits for slower riders, assist with minor mechanical problems, this is the average weekend club ride.
(C) 10-15 miles, 10-12 mph - stops as needed, group waits for slower riders and assist those having minor mechanical problems. Leader gives instructions to beginners on group etiquette and safety before leaving parking lot.

Note: +/- next to the letter indicates the ride is similar in nature with some variation, such as same route and distance, but a slightly slower pace.
 

Ride schedules do change, so the best way to stay informed is to join our email list. This way, you will receive current and up-to-date information right in your inbox.
