Each Tuesday, this event now includes both the B and C Category Groups.

The ride concept is two-fold: Group B departs first. Group C starts one minute later. Group B will maintain a steady pace unless directed otherwise by the yellow beacon (team leader). Group C will also maintain a steady pace unless directed otherwise by the yellow beacon. This ride offers C-level riders the opportunity to train at a higher level if they wish, starting with Group B for a period, then falling back to Group C to complete the ride. Doing so week after week, riders can try to stay in the faster group longer each week until they can remain with Group B for the entire event.

This ride setup is also a suitable format for the following. If Freebirds (Flyers) join Group C, the yellow beacon can advise Freebirds to either return to the group or attack, trying to catch up to Group B. If utilized, this should be done early in the ride.

Both groups include a 30-minute Late Join period. During this time, dropped riders can use the Late Join feature to rejoin. If you find that the group you selected is either too fast or too slow for your pace, you can use Late Join to switch groups within the first 30 minutes of the start time of the group you would like to join.

We do not sweep during the first 30 minutes of a ride. If you fall behind for any reason during this time, we recommend using Late Join to rejoin near the yellow beacon position. We usually do not have designated sweepers (Red Beacon). After the first 30 minutes, if you get dropped and want to rejoin your group, please send a message in the format HELP(X), where X is the number of seconds you are off the back (for example, HELP5). If you get in touch early, one or more stronger riders may come to help you. If you need a sweep, we recommend that you message HELP within 10 seconds.
