Current rides as of December 2025:
Most group rides are not running right now because of poor weather and limited daylight. Occasional rides may continue to be posted in the GroupMe on better weather days. Friday Fun Ride will start up again in latter part of the Spring 2026 semester.
- Tuesday Night Racing (TNR). An informal weekly road race, usually with A and B categories, organized by members of the Finger Lakes Cycling Club (FLCC). Group training rides usually start in April, with racing beginning on the first Tuesday in May. The event alternates between a flat and hilly route, and meets between 5 and 6 pm (depending on daylight) at East Hill Plaza; see the FLCC listserv for more info. When fall arrives, TNR switches to cross practice at the Swandrome at Swan Cycles. *Please note, TNR is not sponsored by the club, ride at your own risk
- Friday Fun Ride. A casual one-hour recovery ride on a flat route, with the pace dictated by the slowest rider; these rides are a great time to meet other members of the club, especially those with different abilities and different disciplines. The club organizes these rides in the fall semester, but anyone is encouraged to coordinate a Friday Fun Ride at other times of the year
- Saturday Fast Ride. 9:30 am at Community Corners 36 miles, <1,000ft elevation gain, 20mph average pace. Contact Brian Hwang in the GroupMe for more info.
- GroupMe Rides. Club Members are allowed and encouraged to organize unofficial rides within the club GroupMe. Time, distance, pace, and routes will vary. Feel free to post your own ride, mentioning when and where to meet, and what route and pace you have in mind. A few terms that you might see in these announcements are:
- “No drop” — the pace is dictated by the slowest rider. Usually, on hilly rides, this means regrouping at the top.
- “Recovery pace” — a relatively short, easy ride at a slow pace.
- “Endurance pace” — riding at a conversational pace, something that you could keep up almost indefinitely; technically, in “Zone 2”, below but not near one’s threshold. Everyone’s fitness is different, so one rider’s endurance pace might be much too slow (or much too fast) for another.
- “Tempo” and “Threshold” pace — faster and much faster than endurance.
- Goldwin Smith Hall (GSH) and East Hill Plaza (EHP) Walgreens are two common meeting points to start group rides.
