B2B Pelotons

New this year: Peloton corral. We will be sending pelotons out in groups of 25 every 5 minutes. We will count you into a corral, cut each group off at 25 riders and send you every 5 minutes with 2 peloton captains. If you plan to ride with friends, join up early and get in the cue. You will not be able to join a peloton at the last minute. Departure times (this is a general estimate, actual send-off times may vary, please be prepared to move when your group is called to cue up in the staging area):

Peloton	Avg Speed	Arrive by	Packet pick-up by	Pre-ride briefing	Depart
Sweet 16	16 mph**	5:00	5:15	5:45	5:55
1	16 mph	5:15	5:30	6:05	6:15
2	17 mph	5:45	6:00	6:40	6:50
3	18 mph	6:10	6:25	7:15	7:25
4	19 mph	7:00	7:20	7:55	8:05
5	20 mph	7:15	7:25	8:15	7:45
6	21 mph	7:15	7:25	8:20	8:30
7	22+ mph	7:20	7:30	8:30	8:40

**The Sweet 16 Group is for first timers and riders with less experience riding in large draft packs and would prefer to ride in a more controlled environment.

Please do not go with an earlier slower group. We have had several people in the past leave in earlier groups, even though they know that their average speed will be much faster, in an attempt to get up to the Vermont Brewery earlier. Please keep in mind that we have set up the departure times so that everyone is able to ride in a group that they feel comfortable with. It is not fair to the riders in slower groups if more experienced and faster riders are elevating the pace beyond what they can handle. Also, we are not prepared to have people arrive at the Vermont Brewery earlier than expected. Please ride in the group that best fits your riding style. This is not a race and no none cares if you are the first one in Vermont.
