CVW&W
Road Biking enthusiasts based in the Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, covering an area from Mill Bay, in the south, to Cedar, in the north & Lake Cowichan in the west. Current meet-up place: Pioneer House/Black Coffee, Whippletree Junction.
Intent is to provide a forum to help the more experienced riders to link with fellow enthusiasts to facilitate group rides and at the same time providing a non-competitive environment for less experienced and/or newcomers to enjoy the camaraderie and learn the skills of group riding.
Expectation is that the CVW&W will eventually offer 2 mid-week (day-time) and 1 weekend ride each week. Distances will initially range between 40 & 100 kms at an average speed of 20-24km/hr. Start locations and ride captains will vary to meet the demographics of the group. All rides will be on a "no-drop" basis and will eventually be categorized as; Expresso, Coffee, Decaf and maybe even Latte! There will be a continual emphasis on having fun!
Goal will be to build stamina/endurance to enable those riders who are looking for a challenge to comfortably manage century rides ~ 100km & 100 mile (162km).
