Group Rides Restarted

With the onset of the social distancing restrictions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Williamsburg Area Bicyclists suspended all group rides back in March. However, since Virginia entered Phase 2 of the easing of the restrictions, we have re-started our group rides but with the following restrictions:

Limited to WAB members only
Limit of 10 participants per pace group
Maintain the 6 foot social distance buffer
Wear masks at indoor rest stops

Of course, other "common sense" guidelines also apply:

If you are not feeling well or running a fever, do NOT come on a group ride
If you must spit, sneeze or otherwise expectorate while on a ride, move to the back of the group (or otherwise distance yourself)

Since our club rides are now restricted to members only, they do not appear on the Calendar unless you log in as a member. The calendar event has a Booking feature to enable you to pre-register. This is the means to keep the group size at or below the 10 person maximum. If you are not currently a member and would like to join our rides, we would love to have you! Click on the "Join or Renew" button to see the membership options and prices. You can pay on-line via Paypal or Credit Card.
