Ride Pleasant Streets - 3rd Saturday Long Edition

Join us on Saturday, Oct. 17 @ 2:00 PM as we enjoy a new route created by ride leader Alex Cline! Bikes and coffee have a special way of bringing out the best in each other, and this ride will take us past a wonderful mix of favorite local spots!

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!)
