The Saddle Tramps are a spin-off of the Pedalers, riding between 12 and 15 miles per hour, emphasizing longer routes between 25 and 50 miles in length. This group will include hill work and preparation for longer rides such as the Ride to Remember, MS-150 and the GCC cycling weekend rides of 50 plus miles. These longer rides can also be preparation for bicycle touring, including information on getting started touring, optimal gear, bicycle friendly routes, and other resources. We are a friendly, no-drop group, who welcome Newbies, who like to visit natural settings, enjoy being outdoors on bikes, who usually ride low traffic roads, and occasionally stop and take pictures.
This group follows all GCC rules of the Road including required use of helmets, and suggested rear-view mirrors attached to helmets or bikes. Roger Pierce has Hubbub mirrors to sell which have the club logo on them. A short briefing on expected protocols and safety precedes group rides. All riders should carry a spare tube, pump, tire levers, (CO2 cartridges and applicator are optional, yet convenient to have), should know the basics of flat repair and be willing and able to change their own tire. More experienced riders are usually willing to help out. Each rider should carry water or sports drink and a snack for longer rides.
The numbers below each group name are the typical cruising speeds of the group. Most groups will pick up speed at the end of a ride, and average speeds are generally on the lower end of the range presented.
A gray backgound denotes a tentative ride that has not been confirmed.
A yellow background denotes a group that you are a member of.
