About this event

For cyclists who take training seriously, the THaT ride series is a great opportunity to build speed, sharpen group-riding skills, and push your limits in a competitive but supportive environment. If you’re looking to improve, this is a great ride to join.

We offer two ride options:
• A+ Pace: Nearly race pace, averaging 21.0 - 22.9+ mph (Will get into Ax pace at times depending on riders, route and weather) . If you’re looking to ride fast, this is your ride.
• A Pace: Leaves five minutes after A+, following the same route at a controlled 19–20.9 MPH. Ideal for those training to step up or preferring a more collaborative effort.

Details:
• Starts at Marina Parking Lot, Mercer County Park
• 30–35 miles, rotating route but always eastward
• This is a drop ride, but the A group will sweep dropped riders when possible

Ride Etiquette:
• Pace lines in effect—smooth, predictable riding is key
• No half-wheeling except when passing or rotating off the front
• Ride shoulder to shoulder where traffic allows or directly on the wheel in front

Dropped from A+?
Don’t panic—within 5–10 minutes, the A group will roll up like a well-organized cavalry, ready to scoop you up when possible. Dust yourself off, tuck in, and enjoy the ride.
