Shop Rides

Shop rides require the following:

  • Appropriate bike in good working order
  • Helmet
  • Lights (mandatory for night rides)
  • Water
  • Flat kit
  • ID/$ (for coffee/snack stops)

MOST RIDES takes place on open public routes so you must be comfortable following all rules of the road and riding with traffic. Riders are responsible for their own safety. You don't have to know how to change a flat tire but must have a spare tube/tools specific to your bike.

"NO DROP" Rides: No one is left behind but please assess your ability and be comfortable riding at the min/max paces provided in the ride descriptions.

"DROP" Rides: Please be prepared to keep up or catch up. Drop rides are self-supported so you should be comfortable changing a flat on your own.

Have questions? Call the shop and we'll be happy to help!

Shop rides are weather permitting. Ride updates and cancellations will be posted on Facebook and Instagram.
