C ride is a group ride similar to the Sunday Church of the High Pines ride where the focus is riding, being efficient and safe in the group but maybe with a touch more pace and can get spicey in the last ¼. This group may also be a good entry point for folks looking to get in group rides but are intimidated because of lack of comfort drafting and not knowing group etiquette, hopefully more experienced riders can help them. The ride will also do a full regroup at the top of each major climb.

No Drop (at least for the first 3/4)
This group ride has been a Sunday standard for years where the goal is socialize with friends and meet new ones that usually gets a little spicy near the end. It is a fairly easy spin if you have a bit of fitness and know how to ride in a group. Local pros use it as a recovery spin to chat with community folks or before heading out on longer rides. For everyone else it is mostly social.
