Breeze A small group of us rode a portion of this route on 1/28, and it reminded me how nice the roads in northern Granville County are for cycling. Unfortunately we didn't get to visit Mt Tirzah, but I'm hoping that a few Road Dogs are also in need of a Long (77m) Slow (~18-19mph) Distance ride and will join me in this Assault on Mt Tirzah. I should mention that there are also a few "rollers" on the way out, as well as during the return trip. This ride will help you prepare for the Frost Bite Century. Any form of precipitation cancels the ride! |

Come and enjoy your Sunday morning ride with Todd. This is our most popular ride with huge groups of fun riders every Sunday. A well established ride. Plan to average 16 plus with this group. If the quicker tempo is not what you are looking for...we split into 2 groups along the way. | |

Informal/pick up ride for those who prefer to ride at a more relaxed pace, enjoy themselves and support one another. New cyclists are welcomed or returning cyclists may use this group as a
springboard to increase their skills then advance to faster groups. At least one person will ride at the pace of the slowest rider. We may split up into two groups to accommodate everyone. Ride pace and distance may increase as the season progresses. You will need to check our website to see when and where we are riding, see

Beginner: 6 - 15 miles, 9-10 mph |
