Nice Guy Eddie (NGE)

The Nice Guy Eddie (NGE) spins put the emphasis on the social aspect of cycling in a non-competitive atmosphere. A NGE spin should be relaxed for all-comers which will be reflected in the average speed. The speed on the flat should allow all of the group to stay together as a unit.
If the group gets split on hills there will be a regroup to allow riders to recover and set off again together. The group will also stop to help a rider with a puncture or mechanical problem. No-one gets left behind.
You can expect the average speed of a NGE spin to be between 20-23KMH on a normal outing. It is up to the road spin leaders to moderate the pace to ensure an enjoyable experience for all.
Spin distances are typically between 40-60km depending on the difficulty of the course, weather and the time of year.
The NGE group should aim to finish the ride together or at least there should not be big gaps between the first and last riders.
