I am one of the Neo-Cruiser trainers, Dewey! Yes, we do stick to 12 to 14mph pace,
and we ask on the fast half of the ride if you prefer to ride a little faster on the second half of
the ride. All the decide which pace they feel comfortable with riding, but we do slow down at
your request so the other riders are aware also. If you have any other questions just email again.
Club members that sign up to lead the NeoCruisers know that the goal of that ride is to get the whole group back to the starting point no matter what the speed. It would be disappointing if we did otherwise — this is the place where we build the club from the ground up and the "volunteer leaders" have done a great job. We need more of them!
I rode with the neocruisers recently and yes we did stick to that pace for the most part. We went a little faster for a short time, but it was a group decision to do so.
Weekends: 7:30 am from Bike Barn in Clear Lake - Five speed groups from 14 mph to infinity
Tues & Thurs Paper Clip starts between 5:30 - 5:45 pm on I-45S service road near the place formerly known as Sussan furniture 3820 Interstate 45 in Dickinson -- fast, take no prisoners ride in a 21 mile loop.
Wednesday Paper Clip starts between 5:15 and 5:30 pm, same location as Tues/Thurs. Calmer pace, comfortable for strong 18's and sandbagging 21's. Dinner on informal basis after ride.
Spin with us in the off season, when it gets dark too early for the paper clip.
