Weekly Club Rides
Ride Policy
Coastal Cyclists rides are open to any rider. You should be able
to ride the distance and terrain. You
should carry a spare tube, pump, and tools and know how to use them.
Rides listed are road rides unless listed as off-road. If you have a
question about a ride, please contact the ride leader. If it is raining
or below 50 degrees, call the ride leader to see if the ride will go as
scheduled.
Paces listed with rides are only guestimates unless so stated.
If you need more information contact the ride leader. Ride leaders will
usually stay with the largest group and may assign someone to stay with
a slower or new rider if needed. This is a courtesy left up to the
discretion of the ride leader.
If you want to lead a ride, or have additions, corrections, or
removals for the list below, contact the .
Rides depart at the indicated time. Arrive early, so you can
prepare without holding up your fellow riders!
