All of these rides are located on our calendar and in our forum.  We sometimes email everyone each week as a reminder. The ride is scheduled and will occur whether you receive an email or not. 

If the ride is on the Calendar and listed here, we will be riding.  If we cancel, we will post a cancellation in the Emergency Ride section of the Forum.  Or you can call us! 

We rotate weekly through  4 or 5 different routes throughout each month. 

As we get closer to the bigger rides, we will be adding longer route choices.  We also have informative clinics as well.
