Ride Pleasant Streets - 1st Saturday Short Edition

Join us on Saturday, Nov 7 @ 2:00 PM for a cozy, close-to-home route that takes us up to beautiful Bechtold Park! This is one of the most gentle routes in our collection, with ZERO climbs over a 4% grade. How often do we get to say that for a ride that starts in the Ridge?!!

Registration for this free event will be on-site, shortly before the ride start

(Your registration ensures that your key contact information will be available to the ride leader, and also gives you coverage under QCB's supplemental insurance for the duration of the ride. Peace of mind so you can focus on the bike joy!)
