Our organized training rides are the best possible way to prepare for your 545-mile journey. They are held frequently, both on weekends and during the week. They are of varying distances and terrains, and are led by experienced volunteers who will be very happy to answer your questions, address your concerns, and maybe help you change your first flat tire (then teach you how to do it yourself). And there's another plus -- it's an opportunity to meet some of the other participants, so when you get to the event in June, you'll already be surrounded by friendly, familiar faces.
