The Progressive Ride Series is designed to get riders in condition to do a
full century. This series starts in mid-January with shorter and flatter
rides and gradually builds up to a full century, which is the Worker's Ride
in April and follow the Primavera route. Rainouts will not alter the
schedule of the series. The emphasis is on an M pace, which will be offered
for each ride. Other paces may or may not be supported; check each ride
description in the calendar for full details.
The progressive rides take place on Sunday mornings, starting January 29.
