Silver Spokes is a slower rolling group ride with the Morning SBux Crew - same route, slower pace. Good for riders who want to increase fitness, may be getting started after a break, recovering illness/injury, or just need a recovery ride with friendly folks.

Ride at your own risk.

This is a no-drop social ride. Group maintains a steady pace to achieve the average speed w/typical rolling speeds 15-17 mph. We slow roll from stops to get everyone back up to rolling speed. Riders are asked to ride the advertised speed range for the group and should commit to keeping the group together. There is no sprint zone for this group.
