12.16 and the 12.16 Cycling Team invite you to the 12.16 Wednesday Ride, where there will be plenty of opportunities to air out the high profiles in an informal cycling community with speed in the field.
What is that all about?
The 12.16 Wednesday Ride is a new initiative in and around Copenhagen aimed at race-oriented cycling enthusiasts of all ages and genders with a penchant for both speed and community.

How does the 12.16 Wednesday Ride differ from many of the other options for social rides that exist in the Greater Copenhagen cycling environment?
We haven't invented either the deep plate or the wheel. But the plan is that on our Wednesday rides, we will gradually try to get more different meeting places into play based on an ambition to 'cover as broadly as possible'. Concept: We ride together at a calm talking pace from the meeting point out to the day's circuit, which will typically take place on remote country roads. We roll a warm-up lap so everyone knows the route before we increase the pace, give the race a go, and ride 'some laps like a bike race'. We catch our breath, say thank you for today... and ride home happy and tired.

It sounds really exciting, but is it something for me?
Yes, if you have a functional racing bike, a reasonable local knowledge, and can handle a potential flat tire yourself, should the unfortunate happen. We generally do not wait for flat tires and similar defects.

I have never ridden in a group before… is that a problem?
Yes, we don't know in advance how many will come from time to time… but for the safety of the group, we would like you to know how to maintain your line in a sprint, give warnings about potholes, etc. If you want to cross the 'line', it probably requires decent spring form. Otherwise, your level is secondary. We will pick up when we have completed laps. And you are welcome to ride as many laps as there is time and interest for on the day.

Does it cost me anything to ride along?
No, nothing other than wind in your face, sweat in your eyes, and maybe a few butterflies in your stomach.

Where exactly should I go if I want to participate in the 12.16 Wednesday Ride?
Find the corner of Frederiksborgvej and Kollekollevej (just outside Værløse). Please be ready at 17:30 – even if the last ones might get a couple of extra minutes to arrive. After a short 'welcome to... any questions?' we will depart.

Hmm, I'm still a bit in doubt… can't you just tempt us with some accessories at the start?
Yes, well then. We will make sure to give Mikkel Bording a handful of 12.16 caps to take along… that is, one free cycling cap for each of the first ten who both register and show up!

Where can I find the important obligation text that is usually present at such events?
Here it comes! The traffic rules must be followed at all times. All participation is at your own risk. Take care of yourselves and each other.

Isn't there still a bit of practical stuff missing?
Yes. If necessary, we will divide into groups based on level and interest.
