Welcome to the 2025 PDX Long Rides series, presented by Cyclepath PDX! Your home for those crucial winter base miles. Welcome to ALL.
Sunday mornings, off-season Z1/Z2 endurance riding. Goal for October: get comfortable riding EASY as a group. This is challenging as most group rides are 'spirited.' We must break this habit and relearn how to ride slow in the off-season. October is our chance to reset, establish our training intentions for the winter, foster group ride etiquette, and start building that base fitness.
These regular Sunday rides will be posted over at the Cyclepath PDX Strava Club page. Routes will change weekly, as will the weather conditions and start location as appropriate. Always check the Cyclepath PDX Strava Club page for the most accurate info for each week's ride.
