Group Riding Is What We Do!
If you love to
ride,
the Shadow Riders Club offers
more riding opportunities
than any other club in the
The Shadow Riders Club of St. Louis is all
about group riding. Our Sunday ride program includes an average of 32 organized
group rides from April through November each year.
Riding Is Fun! Our philosophy is that a safe, smooth,
well-organized group ride is FUN, and after a long week of work and other
stressful commitments, a Sunday spent on a fun ride with friends is a great way
to relax.
How Far to Lunch? The distance to the lunch stop can range
from 50 to 100 miles.
Where Are We Going? Destinations change from year to year
and have included
Manageable Group Size. On Sunday mornings we form into groups
of eight riders, with a road captain at the front and back of each group. We
have found this to be the most effective way to keep a group together while
navigating traffic. It minimizes the chance of the group being broken up by
other vehicles.
How Do You Ride in a Group? We provide our members with a set of
Group Riding Guidelines (http://www.shadowriders-stl.com/safety/shadow_safety_corner.html),
and we give a safety briefing before each ride to make sure everyone is on the
same program.
Socializing with Friends! Although the Shadow Riders
have a variety of social activities — including a picnic, Saturday Night Out
events, and our Holiday Party — most of the social interaction in our club revolves
around riding. Some of the most enjoyable chats with friends occur before the
ride, during fuel/comfort stops, and during the lunch stop (http://www.shadowriders-stl.com/gallery/index.php).
