The "Fast Ride" rider can expect a friendly and social 60-plus-mile recreational ride much like the "Airport Ride", but usually longer and faster. Riders should feel comfortable riding close to others in a group, as we might work in pace lines at tempo. Average speed from Preston/Forest to the Shell station (first rest stop) is typically 18-21 mph. Average speed from the Shell station around the airport can be over 21 mph. Rest assured, the "regular Airport Ride" is a few minutes back to sweep anyone who gets dropped.  Please introduce yourself if you are new to this ride.
