Sunday Group Ride
All mountain bikers are welcome to join our FREE weekly rides every Sunday morning in Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park, with an alternate location chosen for the first Sunday of each month. Riders break into groups based on ability and pace. Rides are designed to be fun for all skill levels - from beginner to advanced - with dedicated ride leaders to show you the way and keep everything safe!
Rides are cancelled for wet weather, so please RSVP to the meetup event where we will post any updates!
Monthly Group Rides
Each month we pick a destination outside of our usual weekly ride venues and typically outside the city limits, from Dana Peak to Reimers Ranch and everywhere in between. These rides occur on Saturday and we bring a post ride lunch so we ask that everyone who plans to attend please RSVP.
ARR Thanks our monthly ride lunch sponsor, Brooks Lawson!
Advanced and Intermediate Rides
When you are ready to challenge yourself on more technical terrain with greater elevation, join us for an advanced and intermediate level ride! We visit locations like Emma Long and Mount Lakeway, and encourage you to BYOB, a grill and and chair, and something for lunch for our post ride hang out!
Ride Like A Girl
Our Ride Like A Girl Program (RLAG) hosts women-only rides that are focused on fun and skill development. RLAG meets every Monday in the summer, unless it rains.
Meet Our Ride Leaders
Our ride leaders and sweeps make our group rides awesome! They meet each year to brush up on their training so that when you join us for a ride you won’t feel left out - or get left behind!
Are you interested in helping us lead or sweep a group? As we continue to grow we need more folks to keep our group sizes smaller and more organized. If you would like to become a ride leader please click here.
