The 'Monday Meander' is the Wheelmen version of the "Slow Ride"! The pace is 14-16 mph (16 MAX!). The route is a 7 mile lap around the Pensacola Airport. Helmets are required but not spandex. Come on out for a casual nearly flat ride! Beginners welcome! For more info, contact David Murphy (murf524@gmail.com).
Start/End from WSRE parking lot (same as the Wednesday ride)
Note there is an optional 6:35pm starting point from Summit & Maygarden to join the group as they ride past. It's a 15mile loop from Summit&Maygarden or you can do the full 30mile trip from RMB (or you can join in anywhere along the route...see map link below). Lights front & rear are obviously required.
All Abilities are welcome!!! Meet in the big parking lot behind WSRE on College Blvd. just 200 yds. from the light on 12th Ave. A and B Groups available. A group is fast (20mph+), B not as fast (17-19) and is a 'no drop' ride. Usually there is also a C group which is shorter, slower and stays off of Scenic Hwy.
Join us for this fun, safe, fast paced ride (32miler) through the nice neighborhoods of Pensacola (west meets east). Roll out at 6p from the TREK store (701 E. Cervantes St.) Lights (front and back) are mandatory!! No Drop ride. You can also easily make this an 18 mile ride doing the first half.
7am start. This 52 miler to the little secluded hamlet on the north end of Perdido bay, Hurst Hammock, is a blast! One of our group's favorite routes for sure! Moderate to fast pace (17-21mph). Rest stop at Tom Thumb on Beulah Rd & 9 Mile Rd after climbing out of the Hammock.
Start/Finish - Intersection of Summit Blvd. and Jerry Maygarden. The parking lot of old fire station across the street (2705 Summit Blvd.) has plenty of parking.
The 'Wheelmen in the Country' meet at the Blackwater Heritage Trail head next to Truly Spokin' in Milton each Saturday morning.
The ride has been a staple of the area for 18+ years and counting with anywhere from 20 to 50 riders on any given Saturday. There are 7 convenience stores located 15 to 28 miles from the Trail head start/finish. One of these stores is the usual Saturday destination. The distance of the ride will vary from 42 to 55+ miles and is typically posted by Thursday afternoon on the Blackwater Cycling Facebook page. The pace varies as well. You can typically expect 2 to 3 groups of riders with a Blackwater pace scale as follows: A group - riding speeds of 22 to 30 mph with a finishing moving average of 22+ B group - They're getting frisky. Typical riding speeds are 18 to 24 mph with a finished moving average of 18.5 to 20.5 mph C group and lower - riding speeds depends the company, anticipate riding speeds of 15 to 20 mph depending upon the wind and ongoing conversations. Finished moving average 16-17 mph.
THE DESTINATION MAY CHANGE WITH THE 'C' GROUP!! The core group of riders has been in Blackwater for years and will sometimes opt for a different route than the faster groups.

4p start. Due to the rain out this morning, we'll do this former Club Classic! The ole TERAD! (Tuesday Evening Rendezvous Avec la Douleur) ... a little french lingo, 'date with pain!'. It's a fun 20miler that sticks close to the airport.
