Parking:

Park at West Canal County Park in Pendleton.  Address: 4070 Tonawanda Creek Rd, North Tonawanda, NY 14120

Course:

Click Here to View the Course Page.  Team Projekt will be leading us on a large Northtowns loop, then heading over to the road race circuit for some laps.

The race circuit itself is a 7.3 mile flat loop.  You won’t get much flatter than this, but watch for the crosswinds!  This is a cooperative ride composed of an A, B, and C group, with a designated sweeper for the C group.  Start with one group and drop back to the next group as needed since we’ll all be on the same course!  Stick with our ride leaders and sweepers for the amount of laps below.

Groups:

A Group B Group C Group
Distance (42mi)  (32mi)  (32mi)
Pace 18-20mph 16-18mph 15-17mph

What You Should Expect on Ride Day:

  1. Please plan to arrive early to get into your riding clothes and get your bike ready.  You need a working road bike, helmet, and shoes.
  2. Check in with a BBC officer at the parking lot
  3. Determine which group you’ll ride with.  Your ride group is the same category as you would participate in for our club races.  Newer riders start in the B/C fields.  If you are a faster novice rider and can safely and comfortably ride in the A group, please ask a BBC officer for guidance.
  4. At 10am, we will be rolling out together and onto the course for the distances above.
