Sportif Club Rides

The Sportif ride is a race-inspired group ride.  Riders form a tight group for maximum draft from the wind and for easy communication.  Group ride etiquette is a must!  This ride is targeted for road racers and fast recreational riders.  We recommended that new club members ride with the Sport group prior to joining the Sportif ride.  This ride normally includes one rest stop.
