Welcome riders to TGIF Friday Episode 06. The weather announced... well, just fabulous! Over 20 degrees, sunny, what more can we ask for to celebrate a long weekend.

We’ve got a nice 50km loop planned, 300m elevation gain so nothing too crazy on that front, and our ride captains to block traffic and lead you safely from start to finish in our ride. Flamingo awaits at the end with its usual 10% discount on food and drinks.

Just Fabulous.

Are you feeling it? Are you in?

TGIF Friday S26E04

There’s another bank holiday around the corner, and it makes us reflect about assumptions. Like we are assuming the weather forecast promising a beautiful Friday will come to fruition just in time for TGIF to come back with another beautiful route in the Pajot!

As with all our TGIF Friday rides, the objective here isn’t to break any KOM or personal records but simply to get reacquainted with the Brussels community.

We ask you not to pass the ride captains, and remember, this is a strict ride.

Our ride rules apply. Ride details and route available on our website: https://brusselsunchained.cc/events/assumptions

Announcing this week’s TGIF Friday Ride. S26E03 which we’ve entitled ‘Tools Down!’

Let’s celebrate the first of may with a classic TGIF Friday Ride. Tables are booked at the arrival point of Flamingo, we take off from Roule Forest at 18h30 for a 50km loop.

And if you’re the type who likes the route in advance, you’re in luck, we even got around to publishing it on our website (see bio).

The usual TGIF vibe, we’re here to chill and socialise, speeds of 23-24km/h as our target. We stay behind our ride captains who’ll have the bracelets, whistles, and stop signs at the ready should be we be a big group!

A great ride in perspective to celebrate our social rights!

Are you in, comrade? ⚒️

Group Riding 101 🚴‍♀️🚴🚴‍♂️

Ever curious about how to make the most of group riding? Taking turns, doing an echelon or even leading out a teammate.

This Fast Tuesday is chance to learn and practice group riding skills in a completely flat route along canals and bike paths. We will cover the theory and do specific drills and exercises to cover these crucial aspects of road cycling.☝️This ride will be a little different.

We will focus on learning and practicing some group riding skills.

The route is a triangle and is divided in three segments. We will stop to explain the exercise and regroup at the end of every segment. Each segment will have a dedicated exercise.

Bring lights!
