Group Rides & activities

Spend time with friends, meet new folks, learn new things and push your riding limits.

All of our group rides share a similar format: it’s your ride. Want a fast pace? Get up front and have at it. Want a moderate pace? There’s a place for you in our rides. We want our group rides to be a place for each of us to push our limits with the support of the community.

We’re always working on rides, clinics, and other opportunities. Check back here or join our Strava Club, Facebook Group, and mailing list to stay informed of new opportunities!

Upcoming rides & more

May 18 - Adam’s Birthday Social Ride

Adam's getting a year older, and we're going to celebrate with an all-paces *unsupported* ride on Saturday, May 18th. The route is based on the Cuerno Verde loop by Gravel Adventure Field Guide, and we've modified it to start and finish at Rye Cafe in Rye, CO. Make sure to use legal, on-street parking and please do not park right at storefronts. We've also got permission to use the lot behind the buildings that Rye Cafe is in, marked on the route map. Let's be good guests of this little community and not clog their downtown parking!

Note on restrooms: There may not be restrooms available in Rye until the cafe opens at 11:00am. There are multiple gas stations on the way from I-25.

We will have some snacks to share for the ride, water to fill up if anyone forgot, and maybe some surprise giveaways...

Please complete our signup & waiver to participate. We're limited to 75 riders MAX.
