Team Decaf
Tue, August 7, 6:00pm – 8:30pm
Tazza D’oro, Highland Park

Team Decaf Group Rides Join us for fun city rides. Free to all. Team Decaf rides every Tuesday at 6:15 pm sharp, from April – September. This year, we’ll be rotating 3 ride leaders. Our ride routes will cover 17- 25 city street, road miles in 1.5 to 2 hours. We’re a C+-paced group – moderate speeds with few stops. New riders may find this difficult, and race enthusiasts will be disappointed. We’re somewhere in the middle. Tough hills are unavoidable and often enjoyable for our riders.
