Bicycling enthusiasts are invited to join the Great Scott Cycle Club. The club rides Monday and Thursday evenings from April 16, 2012 through October. The group leaves at 6:15 PM (6:00 PM starting September 2) from its new starting location - the new cycle shop in Prior Lake (Michael's Cycle) next to TJ Hooligans ( Get Map).
The club is for all levels of riders. New this year - up to five groups of riders (depending on turnout):
| Team | Distance | Average Speed |
|---|---|---|
| A-Team | 30-35 miles | 20+ mph |
| A/B-Team | 25-30 miles | 18-20 mph |
| B-Team | 20-25 miles | 15-18 mph |
| B/C-Team | 15-20 miles | 12-15 mph |
| Recreational | 12-18 miles | 12 mph or less |
Helmets are required; road bikes are highly recommended.
This is a social club for riding and gathering afterward for friendship, food, drink and conversation.
The club was started in 1999 (estimated) by a group of people that regularly met for spin class at Dakotah Sport and Fitness.
