Life Time Fitness Cycle Club rides are a great way to enjoy outdoor cycling with a group for fun and for fitness. We want to make sure that everyone who joins Cycle Club understands the dynamics and expectations of a group ride so we're posting this simple reference chart about pacing and choosing the right group for your ability level. We recommend that you always start in a slower group in order to assess your fitness level and riding ability, and then progress from there. Many times -- a rider's 'eyes might be larger than their stomach' and start with a faster group -- only to be dropped (which is no fun for anyone!). Enjoy your ride with Life Time Fitness Cycle Club!
