“It started as an informal thing that I would throw together whenever I had the time,” Jaime Hebert, co-owner of Exist Cycle, says of her summer cycling group. “We would meet in a parking lot and just go riding for a few hours. What started with three people soon grew to 15 to 18 throughout the summer of 2013. It was a lot of fun.”
With the help of Jaime's partner, Shelly Hemmerling, Exist Cycle now operates year-round, with outdoor riding groups organized for the summers. “We split the group into two parts during the summer,” Jaime says. “There’s one group for those who want to get exercise, but not as intensely as people training for an Iron Man competition. And then there’s the group that trains for Iron Man.”
