Group rides – whether informal gatherings of riders or organized events – are a great way to meet new friends, discover new routes and have a most enjoyable time on your bike. But joining your first group ride, be it road, mountain or gravel, can be a intimidating if you don’t know what to expect. Kristin and Steve use their experiences both participating in, and leading, group rides to share how to know which group ride is right for you, as well as some of the etiquette and skills you will need to stay safe and have fun.
Steve also shares some updates on 32″ mountain bike wheels as well as name changes for mtb groupsets from SRAM. And we answer our first listener voicemail – talking about waxing your chain.
