The Slowspokes group is off to a great start! Anndra, Marion, and I share ride leader responsibilities for this ride, enabling a No Rider Left Behind policy intended to provide beginning riders with a sense of security, as well as a more sedate pace for experienced riders who prefer to sit back and enjoy the ride. This mixture of seasoned and beginning riders has created a great opportunity for new riders to learn cycling safety and etiquette and the chance to familiarize themselves with safe cycling routes in and around Bloomington.
A Break at Showalter Fountain.
With only two rides cancelled so far due to Spring rains, the group has enjoyed three rides, including the Waterworks ride, a trip to Pine Grove, and a route south that included a return trip along the Clear Creek Trail and the B-Line trail. We have seen riders ranging in age from 14 to 67 and have ridden a total of 45 miles. A great beginning for this new group ride, and we have the whole summer in front of us!
Heading over the B-Line bridge.
