Road riding options include the "C-Ride" for those riders looking for a slower pace - often 15-16 mph. This would be the ride to begin your experience of road riding. "B-Ride" rides typically average 17-18 mph and riders may be dropped but for only a short duration with the group waiting for all riders. The "A-Ride" is characterized by fast pace and occasional sprints. The pace can drop some riders. These riders are frequently training for weekend races.

Off road "A" rides will use more difficult terrain and increase in speed. The "B" off road ride is the ride for new riders. Both "A" and "B" rides make use of local trails and occasionally make trips to area trails.

All riders are expected to wear a helmet and the appropriate bike is recommended. Be sure to bring an adequate supply of water. Bicycle riding can be inherently dangerous; therefore neither the Janesville Velo Club nor any members can accept reponsibility for accidents to others during rides.

All routes allow shortcuts for those seeking a shorter ride. Weeknight road rides vary in distance from 29 to 45 miles depending on available daylight. Saturday rides will go for longer distances but at a gentle pace and includes stops along the way for breakfast and rest.
