First Friday Rides

Explore our town with friends, on 2 wheels, fossil-fuel free

On the first Friday of every month, at 5:00 PM, we gather at a central location, and set out on a group ride around town. We do a different route every month, and vary them based on the interests of the riders. We invite you to come with a route in mind, and lead it if you wish. The rides range from 8 to 12 miles in length, and last a little over an hour. You can see maps showing each of our rides at the links listed below.

We are fanatical about the safety of our riders and our courtesy to motorists in cars.

Our goals are :

1. To start the weekend having a good time with friends.

2. Learn about new ways to get around town.

3. Identify things the City can do to make cycling safer and easier.
