Ride Info

We have a large variety of great rides on Thu evenings, Sat, Sun and Mon mornings. Our Ride Schedule is Apr to Nov. All Routes are available on Ride with GPS. Routes are usually between 25 to 100 miles on scenic back roads typically with short and long options. A hilliness rating (below) is included to help you pick your route.

Thursday evening rides usually meet afterwards in a local restaurant, it's a great way to meet members and get to know the club. Sunday morning rides include a faster and more challenging long option.

Each ride has a ride leader who will have scouted the route beforehand and will be at the start to organize the departure. Departure is organized by average speed to encourage no-drop riding. While the Club cannot assume responsibility for riders or their equipment, ride leaders and riders will assist in any way they can.

You should have the route loaded on your GPS device, phone or bring a printed RWGPS map/cue sheet. BBC promotes safe and courteous riding. Please familiarize yourself with the BBC Rider Safety Responsibilities
