| Re: MBA Rides
The MBA or Michiana Bicycle Association sponsors 5 organized rides per week during the riding season and 3 rides per week year-round (weather permitting). MBA Rides Monday Leisure Ride – It is during the summer months (June to August) and is 10-12 miles at 10-12 miles per hour. It start will be Pinhook park for all rides. The leisure ride has a host and maps are not required. Tuesday Morning Ride – It is usually at a moderate pace. Sometimes the group will split based on preferred pace and distance. Once formed groups usually stay together (no drops). Occasionally a lunch stop included in the ride. These rides are scheduled 52 weeks of the year, but riders’ usually only show up when the weather is good. There is no ride host for these rides so one needs to print and bring own map. Wednesday Evening Ride – It is at 6:00 p.m. at various ride start locations in the South Bend area. In the fall when there is reduced evening daylight the ride will start at 5:30. This is the most popular weekly ride with riders of all skills in attendance. There will always be a range of distances (15 to 35 miles) with the exact distances dependent on the start location. There is a ride host and maps/cue sheets provided. Saturday and Sunday Morning Ride – These rides start at locations throughout the Michiana area with some locations relatively far from South Bend. The start times are adjusted based on the likely weather These rides include longer distance options (60+ miles). If the weather is decent there will almost always be groups riding the longer distances at a faster pace (17+ average). During the prime riding season (May-September) there is usually be riders riding a variety of distances and speeds. There is no ride host for these rides so one needs to print and bring own map.
