Group Rides

Joining a club tells us that you want to be a part of something special. Our goal is to make that connection through cycling, taking you along the safest and most common cycling routes in the LowerMainland. Ride group leaders will undergo extensive training and orientation in group riding to ensure they help you find your place in each ride. All of our rides are no drop rides.

Steveston Velo members will enjoy a supportive group with several ride categories based on skill and fitness level. We will host weekly rides on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings for all members.  Thursday evening rides will be between 30 - 50km in distance. While our Saturday morning rides will range from 60 - 100+km.

Cycling groups will be divided into three or more groups depending on the number of members attending.   

 

Group 1 (Espresso): 30+km/hr average over 30km distance.

Group 2 (Macchiato): 27-30km average over 30km distance.

Group 3 (Cappuccino): 23-27km average over 30km distance.

Group 4 (Latte): 20-23km/hr average over 30km distance.

 

Ride group leaders will help you find like-minded and evenly skilled riders to ride with each session.

Thursday Rides

 

Steveston Velo rides will start / finish from the waterfront park, just south of Sanctuary Cafe in East Steveston. Planned routes will head in various directions to ensure we get the most out of our weekday evenings. For safety reasons, early / late season rides require appropriate lights for all riders. Ride distances will range from 30-50km, based on your fitness and skill level.

 

Saturday Rides

 

Steveston Velo rides will start from the waterfront park, just south of Sanctuary Cafe in East Steveston. Saturday morning rides are meant to be longer rides between 3-4+hours in duration with a guaranteed cafe stop(s). The last Saturday of each month, our starting locations may vary and take you to other cities and municipalities in the Lower Mainland. The is our opportunity to explore other routes around the Lower Mainland and beyond.

Tuesday Rides

New for 2024! We're going gravel! Steveston Velo Gravel rides will be 1-3 hours in length and explore routes in Richmond and Vancouver. These rides will have two groups based on pace - a Group 1/2 pace and a Group 3/4 pace. Appropriate tires strongly recommended. Lights mandatory. More details to come so stayed tuned! 

 

The primary focus of our group rides is to improve fitness development, your group riding skills and etiquette, and to strike a balance between bringing people together on the road in a fun and safe environment.

All ride information will be posted on our calendar.

How To Ride In A Pace Line | Cycling Group Ride Tips

The fastest a group of cyclists can go is when riding in a pace line, also called riding through and off or riding in a chain gang. In this video, we'll show you how to efficiently share the workload in a group to mean you can ride as fast as possible! GCN Winter Sale - Up To 50% Off: https://gcn.eu/1bV Subscribe to GCN: http://gcn.eu/SubscribeToGCN Register your interest in the GCN Club: https://gcn.eu/1bU Submit your content with our new uploader: http://gcn.eu/upload Join our Facebook community: http://gcn.eu/FBCommunity The single pace line Riders are in a single line, taking 20 seconds or so on the front and then drifting all the way to the back of the line. Pro teams will use this technique for team time trials. The double pace line Riders form a continuous chain motion where once a rider is past the front wheel of the rider they're overtaking, they will peel off. Remembering not to surge in a paceline is very important to not anger your riding buddies. Do you ever ride in a pace line with your group?
