All riders must wear helmets. Riders should have the route with them and carry food & water, tire repair supplies, etc.
This is a no-drop ride and we typically ride a B pace. See the UVCC web site for a description of ride paces. Ride leader will usually ride sweep. If there is a large difference in rider speed the fast riders may split off and go ahead and regroup at climbs or significant turns.
The challenge is intended to come from the terrain, not the pace. If the pace isn't working for you please don't hesitate to speak up.
Steep climbs are normal feature of our dirt roads. You must be familiar with gravel riding and use an appropriate bicycle. E-bikes are welcome but those riders should not dictate pace. Gearing of at least 1:1 is recommended.
