We have members from four states and as far away as Naples, Florida. Our main emphasis is group road riding, but many of our members are also off-road cyclists, mountain bike riders, cyclocross and road racers.
Sunday group rides vary from 20 miles to 100+ miles, with most rides in the 20 to 40 mile range. Rides are categorized for different levels ranging from slow to moderate to challenging. Most of these rides have a designated ride leader who will assist newcomers with maps and mechanical support. Once each month we feature a food ride. September is our century month with 25-50-62.5 and 100 mile rides, ending with the annual picnic.
From May through September we also meet for more informal rides on Saturday afternoon and Tuesday and Thursday evenings. These are generally show-and-go rides with routes determined by the meetup group. See Calendar and Ride Levels for more details.
