For visitors

No registration. Bring cash for parking. Gravel or mountain bike. Not a hammer fest: the leader says the point is to look at the trees and wildlife.

First time on this ride? Here’s the drill
Bring
a helmet, front and rear lights (it's a dark-hours ride), water, a spare tube or patch kit, a way to pay for the stop.
Arrive
Ten or fifteen minutes before 5:15 pm. Tell whoever's leading that you're new.
Pace
Expect 13–16 mph: steady — you'll breathe hard on the hills. It's no-drop: if you fall off the back, someone waits. That's the point of a group ride.

Look at their Facebook page the day of — that's where cancellations, weather calls and start changes get posted.

I do the miles. You decide who they’re for.

In 2027 I ride 10,000 miles, all on the bike, every one of them for queer communities. You pledge a few cents a mile and pick which org it goes to. It starts January 1.
