Seniors on Bikes
Seniors on Bikes
Who we are and what we do
We are an active group of both men and women over 60 who ride our bikes year round for fun and enjoyment. We have group rides each week on Wednesday and Friday. There are three groups - the Tigers, the Pacers, and the Easy Riders. The Tigers ride at the fastest pace. The Pacers, and naturally the Easy Riders go a little more slowly than the Pacers. See full details at the bottom of this page.
Seniors On Bikes is designed for those who like to ride and have a level of fitness and riding skill that is above the beginner level.

The Tigers, the Pacers, and the Easy Riders
As mentioned above, there are three groups, the Tigers, the Pacers, and the Easy Riders. Here are the typical riding requirements for each group.
Tigers - usually ride about 40 miles at an average speed of 16 miles an hour. Tigers usually have excellent riding skills and a fairly high level of fitness. The Tigers also expect that you can repair your own bike and that you can provide your own repairs and your own way home if you have mechanical difficulty.
Pacers - usually ride about 30 miles at an average speed of 14 miles an hour. Pacers usually have moderate riding skills and a moderate level of fitness. This group is also considers itself as a "no-drop" group, meaning that you will not be left behind by the group.
Easy Riders - usually ride shorter lengths, depending on the weather, at an average speed of 10-12 miles an hour. They don't have a fixed schedule like the other groups above, so check the schedule and call the assigned person.
