All rides are marked and maps and emergency numbers are provided. Routes vary with usually a short, medium and long route. Rides usually begin at 6pm try to arrive early to be ready
As some riders start earlier. Usually pizza or a Picnic is arranged for after the ride, with a cost set by the hosts. It’s a great chance to eat and socialize after the ride. Join the fun this summer!
