- For new and developing riders.
Portland Wheelmen Touring Club (PWTC) offers a series of rides called Welcome to PWTC. You need not be a member to participate. These rides are especially for the newer or less experienced rider but are probably too ambitious for a novice rider.
The expectation is that the rider can pedal along at 12 to 15 mph on the flats and complete a 30 mile ride.
These are group rides whcih means the group of riders generally stays together throughout the ride. The ride leader will guide the group and offer riding suggestions as needed. Theses rides provide a safe, friendly opportunity for newer riders to get out and ride with other cyclists. More information may be obtained by calling the ride leader listed.
