During summer, we lead a group ride every Saturday, leaving Experimental Station at noon to various destinations. We ride at a mild pace, and helmets are required.

We are putting this on hold currently due to the weather. We will resume again when our 61st Street Farmers Market moves outdoors. Check back again or contact us for details.
