We are a casual club and our riders usually ride at  various cruising speeds from 8 to 18 mph.  On many of our rides we have two sub-groups, the cruisers and the roadies: 

The cruisers ride from 8 to 12 mph, take several breaks and  wait for newbies or beginners. who may be a little slower, or need a shorter route. 

The roadies ride from 12 to 18 mph, take fewer breaks, ride longer, and assist riders training for long charity rides.

We have the best ride maps in San Antonio, so anyone, including faster riders (breakaways), can ride at their own pace and not get lost.  We never leave anyone behind.  Since we are a laid-back recreational cycling club, we do not have a racing team (20+ mph),  and we always welcome beginners.

Our members say that the San Antonio Cycling Club should stay focused on the one thing that every recreational cyclist wants...an opportunity to ride their bicycles.  Ride with us on our next group ride.  Membership is not required.
