New Ride Designations


Labor Day Picnic

It's Picnic Time! The club will provide chicken and a vegetarian option. ** BRING ** side dishes to complement the main course and for dessert.

We will provide enough chicken for those who RSVP. Please RSVP before the weekend if you will be eating the main course so that we can buy enough food.

Rides should be planned to meet at the park between 8 and 9 am; eating will commence when the chicken arrives, between 11 and noon.

Boulware Springs is located on SE 15th St. Click Here for more detailed directions. DIFFERENT THIS YEAR: We'll be using the pavilion at the lower parking lot next to the Trail.

New Ride Designations

The Ride Schedule has been updated to allow rides to be categorized by the type of surface they will be conducted on.

  • Road ride - mostly on paved roadways, may include sections on paved trails and very limited gravel
  • Gravel ride - mostly on gavel / limerock roads with necessary paved road connections
  • Off Road ride - on unpaved trails designated for use by mountain bikes
  • Trail ride - on paved trails designated for use by bicycles, no riding on roads

Riding Groups are no longer categorized by riding surface, though some groups will continue to specialize in a particular surface.
