Final Leisure Ride of the Year
Join us this Saturday, November 9th, at 10 AM for our last Leisure Ride of the year, meeting outside Costa at St. Martin’s Centre in Caversham. While our regular rides will continue throughout the winter months, this will be our final leisure outing for 2023.
Although we can’t guarantee sweeping views, the autumn colors are simply stunning at this time of year.
Our Leisure Rides are designed for new or less confident cyclists to enjoy a guided group ride in a relaxed atmosphere, without the pressure of keeping up a fast pace. For those who are more experienced, be sure to check out our runs list for additional rides.
