JD's Big Ring

Join us for a 2-hour cycling event that will help you become a better rider! Each ride will be coached by a premium cyclist who will focus on developing your riding skills and efficiency. We will cover topics such as riding safely with others, pace lines, riding positions, breathing, hydrating, attacks, cadence, changing gears, climbing, teamwork, communication, drafting, and dropping. Our ride leader, James JD Davis, will guide us through a 25-mile route with an average speed of 17+ mph. This is a no-drop ride, as long as you keep up with the speed of the group. We will pull over for mechanicals or mishaps. We ask everyone to wear MTC3 gear and bring lights. Helmets are required on all Major Taylor Chicago rides. Make sure to bring a gear bag with the basics, hydration/food, and check your bike before the ride. Optional items include cycling gloves, sunglasses, cycling shoes, and padded cycling shorts. Be on time, and get ready to roll with soul!
