Saturday Novice Ride- August 16 - 7:00am - Plano Bicycle Association

This ride is essentially for those cyclists who may be new to group rides and want to develop their riding skills. It is also a good ride and first step for those cyclists who may have been off their bike for a while or may be recovering from injuries and want to begin their return to former skill and endurance levels. Saturday Novice is also a great ride if you just want to take a casual pace and distance ride for a change.

Summer is still here! Please start hydrating on Friday for your Saturday ride.

Novice ride starts at 7:00AM. Please arrive and be ready by 6:45am for check-in and to hear the pre-ride briefing. Also be sure to check you tire pressure, brakes and chain. Bring at least one or two full water bottles.

Don’t forget, you MUST register online for ALL PBA rides.

Reminder! NEW PARKING AREA for the Novice group is right next to the old one at Gulledge.

Novice 20 Hillcrest 2025

The route is about 20 miles, with a short break near the 1/2 way point.

This is the Novice ride, and we will follow PBA guidelines for about a 11-12 mph pace. We ride at a pace that is comfortable for everyone and accommodate the slower riders to keep the group together.

See YOU There!
