This ride is intended to introduce the sport of bicycling to new riders and to teach them to ride safely in a group.  The rules and the pace will be consistent from week to week.  This will result in a safer and more enjoyable ride.  Everyone is invited to participate as long as they are willing to follow the rules.  These rules have been established with safety being the primary consideration.  The No-Drop ride will meet at the south end of the parking lot to make sure that we leave last.
