Our longer rides are our B rated Sunday morning ride that changes start location and route every weekend per the calendar below. Check out our ride calendar below and we hope to see you our riding with us.

Upcoming Rides & Events
Jul

Tue
B ride, with some portions at B+ and A- pace. Routes depend on participants & wind/weather conditions. Ride Leader(s) vary.
Meet in vicinity of Village Cycle Shoppe and Ossorio Bakery & Cafe.
Distances range from 45 to 65 miles (75 to 100 km). Plan accordingly with food-hydration. We usually stop somewhere midpoint for rest/refuel.
These are NOT introductory group rides; you should be completely confident riding in a group, with enough endurance to comfortably finish a 3 to 4 hour ride. You should also have no concern about fixing flats, should they happen, and carry the equipment to do so.
That said, these are “no-drop” rides: we don’t leave fellow Freewheelers behind. But you are expected to keep up and contribute to the training effort.
Jul
26
Wed
14 mile C ride. Ride Leader varies.
Start/end at parking lot adjacent to the back of Murdock’s restaurant.
28 mile B ride. Start/end at parking lot adjacent to the back of Murdock’s restaurant.
This is a “self-managed” ride; there is no designated Ride Leader. Depending on the skills of participants, the pace may increase to ‘A’ levels (21+mph).
New participants are expected to have experience riding in groups including pace-line rotation, traffic call-outs (walker up, car back, etc) and communicating with hand signals (finish pull at front, move to left, stopping, etc).
As necessary to assure safe conditions for all, senior riders may take control and provide direction.
Route map and cue sheet.
