Can I ride my E-Bike with GCC?
Only in rare instances.
We will only consider E-Bikes on a case-by-case basis for long-time experienced club riders who now have health or age limitations.
There are a lot of great things about E-Bikes. Unfortunately, group paceline riding with an E-Bike in the mix can be tricky business.
Paceline riding takes a lot of practice that leads to an accomplished skill. However it is a perishable skill which must be practised regularly to remain proficient. Keeping a paceline cohesive by increasing and decreasing minute amounts of power is not easily administered on an E-Bike.
There may be a time when GCC has rides specifically for E-Bikes. Until then, the case-by-case basis remains.
If you are interested in organizing group E-Bike rides that you think are a good fit with GCC, please contact us to discuss further.
