**Join Us for a Fun and Supportive Group Ride!**

We invite you to join a fun, supportive, and epic group ride. Feel free to join us for as little or as much of the ride as you like; everyone is welcome!

Our experienced, friendly, and engaging Ride Leaders will guide you throughout the ride, ensuring a cohesive group and plenty of entertaining banter.

Please note that while there is no "A" Category Group, we encourage "A Cats" to join the B Category Group, which gives you the option to ride with the B Group "Freebirds," who maintain a faster, more spirited pace than the Beacon Group. (BMTR does not use the “Fence".)

The C and D Groups will make one brief stop at about 62 miles (100 km), while the B Group will not stop along the way. All three categories can use the "Coffee Break" option, allowing a 3-minute break every 30 minutes of riding while you are auto-paced with the group.

This event is designed as a longer endurance ride, lasting 4-5 hours. The average watts per kilogram (w/kg) pace for each group is calculated to keep most riders within their "Zone 2 Endurance / low Zone 3 Tempo" ranges, assuming each rider selects the correct category based on their Functional Threshold Power (FTP) or on Zwift's calculations/assignments.

Since we will primarily use flatter routes* for this event, smaller riders may find themselves at the higher end of their category's average range, while larger riders may fall toward the lower end.

*For our purposes, "flatter routes" are defined as having less than 3,100 feet (945 meters) of climbing per 100 miles (161 km).
