Join us for our Tuesday Night Time Trial! Each Tuesday, meet us at the bike shop and be ready to ride by 6:15pm. Our time trial route is 18 miles long- 6 miles warming up together, 6 miles individual time trial, and 6 miles cool down together back to the bike shop. Our rides are no-drop. The time trial ride is typically a faster paced ride that allows you to compete against your own times each week. Questions? Send us a message on Facebook or give us a call at 269-962-7688!
Do you have a bike you haven't ridden in a while? Or are you looking to get outside and move your body in a low-impact way? We're hosting a women-led ride this year on Tuesday nights, and we'd love to see you if you're interested in riding but haven't in a while. Maybe you want to work your way up to longer rides on your bike, meet new people, or get active and outside! We'll gather in the parking lot behind the bike shop and take off at 6:15pm. We'll ride the Linear Trail, which is fully paved, and rides will start short in the spring- just a few miles- and we'll plan to increase ride length throughout the summer based on the group's interest & abilities! First ride of the year is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, and we'll plan to ride each Tuesday through September. Questions? Send us a message on Facebook or give us a call at 269-962-7688! For this ride, we may also have a bike to loan if you're interested in checking it out but don't have a bike in good condition. Reach out to us before the ride to check availability!
