Kandi Group Riders

09/01/2026

***6:30 under the water tower behind the New London high school***

1st unofficial ride of the season starts this Wednesday evening! We'll re-use this route from last year as I (Carl) didn't make it to this ride last year and it seems like as good a route as any for keeping us out of the setting sun hazard. Start in NL and head east on 40, then south on 4, then 10 west into Spicer and back to NL via the trail.

Same rules as official - Lights, Helmet, no more than 2 wide...

Wednesday Night Group Ride Finale!! (8/26/26 Route)

Well, here we are at the end of the official group ride season 😥 Tomorrow is the finale, but keep an eye out on Strava or FB for unofficial social rides that might pop up through the fall.

This one is a little shorter in case folks would like to meet up at Zorbas afterwards as we have done in the past. I (Jedd) can't attend, but a celebration pizza does sound fabulous 😋 🤩

Meet at the New London-Spicer Middle School parking lot (rollout at 6:30pm). It's behind the high school next to the tennis courts.

-Wear a helmet ⛑️
-2 wide riding at the most. We're on open roads and don't want to irritate drivers
-Use a blinky rear light if you have one!
-Bring what you need
-The group will likely split up - we can discuss that before rollout. We hope to have enough riders so no one needs to ride alone! 🤞
-Know the route and/or how to get back in case you lose the group!! There are no sweepers nor a sag wagon... I can't go looking for you if you get lost - I have kids bedtime to get back for!

Let's gooooo! 👏 Here's this week's route (8/12/26):

This week's roasty-toasry route! (7/15/26)

Gonna be a hot one! 🥵 Plan accordingly or skip if you're worried 😬 You could knock 5mi off the route by staying on the trail at mile 4
I tested my sweat loss on an easy hour ride in the heat the other day and lost a half gallon of sweat in that hour 🤯
