This is an exhilarating ride through the city of Reston, using its city streets, bike lanes and sharrows.  You will be one of almost 100 cyclists in a mixture of 3 groups.  If you would like to try and hang with the Big Dogs, Group 1 is for you and if yo are dropped , groups 2 and 3 are behind you to pick you up. 

Don't get relaxed for the groups 2 and 3 are Pushing Those Pedals as well.  Group 1 is a 20+ mph ride, while groups 2 & 3 are on average 18 with the rear smaller groups that broke off pull up with a solid 16 mph.

You should be worn out after the ride and GLC has partnered with Flame Theory Food Truck to serve their signature burgers and sandwiches.  Rain or shine; GLC will also have their Wednesday night beer specials!

This is a good cycling meter to show how you should be pushing yourself on your weekday base miles to be able to group ride on Saturdays.

Please be prompt for GLC rolls out on time.
