Schedules:

Please check this page for updates, corrections and last minute changes to the ride schedule. Unless otherwise indicated, daytime rides will not take place on holidays. All rides return to the starting point unless otherwise noted.

Each ride in the schedule is designed for riders of a specific skill level or ability. A ride usually consists of more than one level and riders will normally break up into groups that ride at a similar pace. If you are unsure about your cycling ability, try a ride or ride with a group one class slightly below where you think you might be. You can then move up until you find the level that is right for you.

Please arrive 10 minutes early and be ready to leave on time; all rides leave promptly at the time listed. Make sure your bike is in proper working order before you arrive. All riders are strongly encouraged to obey traffic laws; wear a helmet; carry a spare inner tube, patch kit, tire irons, pump and water bottle; and have a rear-view mirror.

If there is no ride leader specified for a scheduled ride, club members are asked to greet newcomers, assist those who are not familiar with the route and report miles using a ride sheet. In the case of inclement weather, or if the leader fails to appear (probably because of an emergency), form a group and go on a ride if you like.

Please report miles to records(at)spfldcycling.org. See the ride rules at www.spfldcycling.org/ride_rules.htm.

If you have a question or interest in leading a ride, contact the club vice president by e-mail: vp(at)spfldcycling.org. You can also contact him if you would like to lead an ad hoc ride. Please provide at least three days notice. The ride will be posted on this page, and therefore becomes a scheduled ride eligible for club miles.
