Ride Calendar - Event View

Here's an opportunity for new riders to learn some fundamental strategies for riding in a group.  We will start with a safety briefing and some on bike demonstrations, then head out for a ride, starting on the Murray trail.  We will also be riding on some quiet neighborhood roads, an urban road, and down a hill and up a hill. It will be a 10-12 mile slow ride, with stops along the way, as needed.  Bring a water bottle, and a snack if you need one.  Rain cancels the ride. 

Please note:  this is limited to 8riders; must be able to ride up the hill on the Murray Trail and maintain minimum speed of 12 mph
