🌟 About the Series
Gentle Start, Strong Finisher is a G4 ride series for beginner and returning cyclists. Week by week, we’ve gone from short, easy loops to long, confident miles. This ride is a big milestone and you’re ready.

🚴♂️ What’s This Ride About?
We’re going long. This is our first 50-miler — mostly flat, super scenic, and built for steady pacing. It’s about holding the effort, sticking together, and seeing what’s possible.
• ✅ Longest ride of the series so far
• ✅ Fully supported pace with regroups
• ✅ No stress, no rush — just ride

🔰 Beginner Tip
Eat early. Eat often. Don’t wait until you’re tired to fuel small bites every 30–45 minutes help you finish strong.
⸻
👥 Who’s This For?
Anyone who’s done at least 30–35mi and wants to stretch to 50mi with support. We’ll guide you through the pacing and recovery, and celebrate the finish together.
⸻
☕ Café Stop
We’ll break at Cinnamon Café in Windsor big tables, good coffee, and energy bars if you need a second wind.
