Unless specifically designated as a trail ride, our rides take place on public streets. Headlights and red rear flashers are required for night rides. Helmets are encouraged, and are required for children under 16.
We observe all traffic laws and traffic signals. Our rides are typically 10 to 15 miles, roundtrip, and average 10 miles and hour, a comfortable pace for most adults and teens. May be too fast for younger children and adults with health issues.
These rides are social in nature. For longer, more aggressive group rides, subscribe to Hal Downing’s group ride newsletter by emailing [email protected]
