What should I bring?
Snacks, tube; the usual for a self-supported ride. Also money for coffee and food. On the longer rides we'll have an additional stop for food and water.
Can I keep up?
If you do Wolf Pack Hustle, BiciKillers, Caturday Warriors or something similar, yes.
Will you wait up?
Probably. Though if you show up in jeans on a track bike, probably not. Unless you are Cole or some other monster then you'll have to wait for us.
Do I have to do everything?
Hanging out is mandatory unless you can't then that's cool.
Does it cost anything?
The value of these rides is greater than money; we require your time and stokedness.
What are the percentages for the climbs and what wattage can I expect to put out per hour, on average?
These rides are probably not for you.
Who is putting this on?
A 'bunch of fucking boring semi-employed geeks' known as Swarm!. Questions? Get in touch at bikeswarm on gmail.
