These rides are for ebike riders, with Class 1 or Class 3 ebikes (no throttles), who are comfortable and familiar with road bike group riding, bike etiquette, road safety rules, and are capable of averaging 15-17 mph, for 20-40 miles. The focus is not on speed or competition, and pace-lining and drafting are not encouraged. Because of the variations in ebike motors and rider abilities, this is a Drop Ride, and riders will need to have the ride routes on RWGPS or a cue sheet. Any re-grouping will occur at the ride leader’s discretion. Participants are asked to text the ride leader of their intentions to join the ride. Rides will be Sunday mornings, normally a 9:00 am start, contingent on weather and changing seasons. Last minute changes in start times will be announced via text to riders who have made their ride intentions known beforehand to the ride leader. The majority of the rides will start and end in Weaverville, Mars Hill, Jupiter, Barnardsville, and Burnsville.
