Beginning the first weekend in January, I will be hosting free Bicycling Group Rides from Camp Zama. Group riding is a great way to socialize and improve your fitness and bike handling skills. There will be two different rides planned for every weekend and they are as follows:
Saturday, 0730. Beginner's Ride. C Pace.
20 to 30km routes.
20 to 25kph average speed.
Mostly along the Sagami River and adjacent farms just west of Camp Zama. Low to no automobile traffic for most of the ride.
Before and during the ride, I will discuss how to ride safely in a pace line, communicating with other riders while on the move, and etiquette for other riders, pedestrians, and automobiles.
Any manner of bicycle/bicyclist is welcome! Helmets are required.
Sunday, 0730. B pace Ride
40 to 60km routes
30 to 35 kph average speed.
Routes will include some of the nice climbs from Category 4 to Category 2 in Aikawa and Lake Miyagase, located in the mountain range west of Camp Zama.
Light to moderate automobile traffic is expected during the first 15 and last 15 minutes of the ride. Otherwise, low to no traffic.
Road or Hybrid Bicycles are highly recommended for these rides. Helmets are required.
All rides will begin and end at the Camp Zama PX, with coffee afterwards at the Foodcourt Starbucks
Must have a DOD ID card to get onto base without an escort. For those who don't have a DOD ID card, please meet us on the way out the gate for the rides, if you'd like.
Private message me if you are interested!
