Breakfast Club is for everyone and we mean it!
We ride in 4 groups: A, B, C and D. Groups A, B and C have vehicle escorts with an officer both in front of and behind each group. We have several ride leaders who will be sprinkled throughout the groups… be on the lookout for matching kit and helmets. Before roll out, the ride leader on the mic will call out each group and have everyone stage on E 5th Street.
First time and not sure who to ride with? We recommend going one group lower than you think so you can get a feel for how it all works. Worst case scenario, you’ll have a good time and know more for the next one!
A GROUP
Our fastest group. It’s hard to put a speed on it, but know that this group likes to MOVE. This one is technically a drop ride, but the ride leaders will regroup once or twice throughout the morning. Don’t fret, if you fall off know that B group will more than likely be behind ya on a similar route ready to scoop you up.
B GROUP
Possibly our largest group. While this one doesn’t roll quite as fast as A group, B group tries to keep a constant, slightly slower pace on a slightly shorter route. The ride leaders will regroup a few times throughout the ride and try their best to keep everyone together. Towards the end of the ride, the group can stretch out a bit, but don’t you worry, you will more than likely find yourself among plenty of people heading back to CMW to earn what ya burned.
C GROUP
New to riding in groups? This is the one for you. The ride leaders spend a lot of time helping teach the basics of riding etiquette and regroup several times. While this is still technically a drop ride, C group tries its best to stay together at all times. You can also count on at least one mass photo stop during the ride and if you haven’t heard, legend has it that Len is the heart and soul of this group. The original C group ride leader, he has since moved away from Austin but his C group spirit lives on. If you don’t know, you just have to experience it!
D GROUP
This one is the soul of Breakfast Club and an absolute no-drop ride. “No Drop” means that the group stays together NO MATTER WHAT. This is a great one for first-time riders or those who may have been off the bike for a while… we’ve all been there! D group will do the same route nearly every month, going out and back on the Walnut Creek Trail. They will regroup as needed and teach the basics of shifting and calling out items in the road (or trail!). Above all, D group will have a BLAST.
