July—Start Time 5:45: New Hartford High School

The Wednesday ride is a larger group that is broken up into A, B, and C groups. Approximate paces are:
C — 15 mph
B — 16 to 17 mph
A — 18 mph and up
Rides will last as long as daylight allows. The C group generally does 25-30 miles; A and B groups go 30 to 40 miles. The A and B groups take the same route, so if a rider can’t keep the pace, he can drop back to a slower group.
