ROAD RIDING..

Team DRT/Deep Blue Racing Team has two scheduled group rides each week. These rides are intended for team building, camaraderie, and introduction of new riders to the sport, IN ADDITION TO some good training.

Anyone and everyone is invited to join the rides. If you love to ride your bicycle and live in the Greater Wilmington Area, we encourage you to Contact Us for more information before joining the ride, just to let someone know you're coming and you're ability level.

All rides leave from the Toscana To Go, Trolley Square parking lot and proceed up Rt. 52 towards PA. Rides leave as scheduled so please come prepared to leave ON TIME.

Tuesday night rides are suspended until 2010.  See you in the spring!

The Tuesday night ride is the staple ride for the team.  Here are the details for the ride so you'll be read when they start up again...

Saturday morning rides have resumed for the winter....

General Ride Guidelines:

• Safety FIRST! While we all want to train hard, we need to live to train another day.
• We have a strict 'no one gets left behind' policy. A representative of the team will bring up the rear of the group to make sure everyone is ok.
• Each ride starts with warm up. The 6 mile portion from Toscana to Winterthur is done at a pedestrian pace to allow for the whole group to get safely out of the city. The group will then split into an "A" group and a "B" group. Please place yourself in the category that matches your ability.
• Many riders will tag along with the "A" group until they can't take it any longer and then fall back into the "B" group. This is perfectly acceptable.
• Yellow line rule is in effect! No one on the ride should cross the yellow line.

MTB RIDING..

Team DRT/Deep Blue Racing Team also has an active group of mountain bikers. This group rides the trails in the area of the next mountain bike race in order to get a change of pace in addition to familiarizing the team with the course terrain.

The MTB group meets every Wednesday evening year round at 6pm.  Location changes so need to be on the team's email list.
