Sunday, Weekday & Holiday Rides
Summit members also participate in local group rides on Sundays and Weekdays, note that most are LEADERLESS, so you should be prepared to navigate on your own. These rides are not Summit rides unless noted. These rides may not have structured pacelines and often consist of multiple skill levels and experience. Some are seasonal. Any rider exhibiting dangerous or reckless behavior will be asked not to participate.

Holiday Rides
Summit at times holds open holiday rides. Often they are ad hoc and not fully organized until a few days before the holiday. They vary in distance and speed depending on who attends but typically average 40-50 miles at a brisk but not brutal pace. We do our best to stay together but that's not guaranteed. Sometimes they include a mid-ride coffee stop. Summit ride rules apply.
