To ensure safe and enjoyable riding experiences as well as uphold the reputation of Steamboat Velo, our members, and our sponsors, we ask all riders to observe the following rules.

Each season VELO leads 100+ group rides with an expectation that everyone participating does their part to keep our rides safe, elevate the camaraderie, and demonstrate to the community we respect other road and trail users.

Pacing is a fundamental tool where you control your power output in order to keep group rides together, save valuable energy for race winning moves, and ensure you are riding strong through the end of a ride.

It’s a team goal to communicate what type of group ride is planned using the levels and general guidelines below. Learn more about our ride levels here.
