Come out and join us for a group ride of the IMMD bike course! That’s right, we’re back for another year so make sure to come join the coolest IMMD ride in the land!
My team and I are organizing a group ride of the IMMD bike loop. We will have multiple ride group leaders and Mid Maryland Triathlon Club has been gracious enough to provide ice and drinks. We know that this will be one of the final long ride weekends for many athletes and having some company always helps on those long days in the saddle.
The loop is approximately 45 miles so come do 1 lap or multiple and use our starting point as an aid station.
The plan will be to START RIDING between 7:10 and 7:15. We will talk about safety and the course before heading out so please arrive early enough to be ready.
Safety Rules:
1. Helmets are required. They must also be properly adjusted and fit. I’m happy to help anyone with helmet adjustments as needed. Head injuries are serious and I treat them as such.
2. NO riding in aerobars when directly behind someone. If you wish to ride in pacelines or tight packs please don’t ride in your aerobars behind someone. That is extremely dangerous and we don’t want anyone going to the hospital. If you wish to use your aerobars behind some please drop back to safe distance.
3. It will most likely be hot! Bring your fluids and make sure that you’re drinking enough while out there. There are two places that you can additionally stop if you need fluids during the loop. We will discuss those during the briefing so it would be wise to bring a little cash just in case.
4. All ride leaders will have my contact information. You will be introduced to them before we begin. If you have an issue ask them for help. If it can’t be remedied out on course they can call me. I will be riding the first loop but there are options to cut through and get to my vehicle if needed.
