I regularly do cycling training around Groningen (also running, tho), usually starting from Helpman. I prefer not to ride in large groups, but it would be nice to occasionally ride with one, two, or a few other cyclists.
My rides are usually steady endurance sessions, sometimes with a few harder efforts, but safety and enjoyment are more important than following a strict training plan. The pace and distance can be discussed depending on who joins. The time is flexible. I sometimes go out around 5:30 AM and sometimes after work, like 6:00 PM
I ride a drop-bar road bike, wear a helmet, use a rear radar, and have experience with drafting. Riders with different types of bikes are indeed welcome.
This is not meant to become a large cycling club—just a relaxed way for people who usually ride alone to occasionally find a few cycling partners.
I am a PhD. student at the Uni
