Regular Season Rides
Wednesday night club rides start at 6:15 p.m. from the Orrville Cycling and Fitness bike shop. Rides are generally organized into three groups and maps are provided for each. For the A group riders the pace is fast and usually hilly with average speeds of 21 to 24 mph and flat accelerations sometimes approaching 34 mph. Sprints at city/county lines are not uncommon. A second group of B riders start out a minute later and follow a slightly shorter version of the same route. The pace is typically 18-22 mph. Finally, the C group starts out on the shortest route at a more friendly and casual pace. Everyone ends up back at the bike shop at sunset. Use the MapQuest feature below for directions to the bike shop. Many club members are USAC licensed and participate in regional USAC races wearing the Orrville Cycling Club jersey and sponsored by the businesses you see on side bars of this webpage. In mid August the club sponsors the yearly Smith's Dairy Milk Race, a 30-50 mile circuit race in beautiful Wayne County. New events are being planned for the 2011 season - stay tuned.
