I did the ride last year and found the group rides with lots of different exp. levels to be very helpful in my training. I was novice, first time on a bike since I was a kid and these rides with others helped me increase my confidence and skill level as well they introduced me to the people I ended up riding to seattle with!
So that being said... I would like to extend an invite to anyone who is interested... Team iCAN has arranged for group training rides on every second Saturday. We have the capacity to divide into a slower and faster group depending on who attends and we would LOVE to have more people out to join us.
The rides are all over the lower mainland to keep things interesting and aren't scary - i promise.
Anyway if you're interested we head out on the following dates: April 17th May 1st May 15th May 29th June 12th June 13th
Team iCAN members will post the meeting location/time for each of those dates on this thread.
we have an email list circulating with all the info about the rides. I won't be at the next few but you can contact trevor@teamican.ca to fill you in on the details
