Group rides start after winter leaves the area. The ones listed here are pretty consistent, but there are no guarantees; it's best to call the shop and make sure the ride is happening. If you're part of group ride that isn't listed here (and you feel like sharing), let us know and we'll include it.
Tuesday, easy-ish
Starting at 6:15 PM (ish) from Upton Middle School in St. Joseph. The pace is generally pretty easy for the first 10–12 miles, then the group splits up depending on desire pace and riding distance. The total mileage will be from 20–35 miles total depending on the collective mood. The spirit of the ride is that it is a "no drop ride". Riders of all abilities will have someone to ride with and no one will get left out on the road. This is an excellent ride for newer riders that may be uncomfortable with riding in groups and traffic and want to learn in a friendly environment. There will be plenty of experienced riders available to teach the ins and outs of group road riding. We hope to see you out there!
Thursday, mixed
Starting at 6:15 PM (ish) from Cycle and Fitness in St. Joseph. This ride has the local reputation as being the "fast local ride". While the pace is faster than the Tuesday ride, we split into several groups based on who shows up. Don't let this ride scare you away, you might surprise yourself, and others!
Thursday, easy-ish
Starting at 6:15pm from the shop parking lot. Pretty easy pace, from 25–32.7 (-ish) miles.
