New Beginner Friendly Group Ride: Saturday Mornings at Trek Bicycle Store of Omaha

There's a new beginner friendly group ride in town starting this summer.  Here's a recent Facebook post from Trek Bicycle Store of Omaha:

Join us for the Saturday Coffee ride. Want to go on a leisurely morning coffee ride without having to worry about getting dropped off the pack and/or run over by a car? We will leave the midtown shop at 8:00am and head down the trail to shop off the trail. We can stop, socialize, make witty remarks, and then head back again at a comfortable pace. plan on around 10-15 miles. the route and stop are open to suggestions. All are welcome, this is a ride for the people!

You may rent a bike if you don't have one, or want to try something different.

The shop is at 7214 Jones St.  [ map ]

Late Notice: Force Repeats up Calhoun Rd.

I'll be leaving Blue Line downtown at 6:00 to do SFR up Calhoun Road. 30 minutes from downtown to the base of the climb, five or six low-cadence trips up the hill, then 30 minutes back--hopefully before sunset at 7:40.

Practice makes perfect

Here's some talk about learning how to ride in a large group.
