Distances and paces will be discussed before the groups depart and may vary week to week. No ride if snowy, rainy or excessively windy or if road conditions do not permit safe cycling. You must contact a leader to be certain a ride is taking place. Depending upon conditions and leaders’ preference for an activity, there may be snowshoeing or cross-country skiing offered, but no GSW mileage credit given for that! If weather conditions prohibit cycling, we might choose to snowshoe; inquire about that. Newcomers are welcome.
