2012 Springbike Weeknight Beginner Rides - are slower paced rides with no one left behind. We need Ride Leaders - it’s an important job, setting a good example for new riders and giving tips for riding effectively and safely. Varying lengths depending on the night (8-15 miles). Watch for “BEG” road markings on all these rides. Ideally we would like 4 people who regularly ride on these nights to sign up, each taking one week a month. Please visit our volunteer page to see where we still need leaders.
NEW: Downloadable maps/cue sheets for weeknight rides.
These are for club members to meet and ride. Children should not ride without an adult and you must wear a helmet. Ride defensively and remember your actions reflect the club and all cyclists. There is no traffic control.
