All pace ride. Riders ride at their own pace or form groups riding a similar pace. Often times, there are no regroups due to the short distances offered. Approximately 25 miles. No sweep. Parking at the Flower Farm should not be in front of the Cafe but in the gravel parking lot toward the back. Coffee and conversation afterwards at the Flower Farm Cafe.
The Saturday ride meets at the Flower Farm, unless there is an event at the event center in which case we start in Loomis at the Train Station.

You'll find some rides that are flattish and some that are killer hilly. The average pace of the Sunday rides varies hugely based on the distance and the amount of climb. The start location of this ride varies weekly, so check the calendar.
