Their routes provide us a wonderful variety of places to tour and explore. Some months there are 30 or more rides to choose from!   Ride Length Varies Rides can be anywhere from 10 to 100+ miles, with different degrees of difficulty and speed. Therefore, we grade rides by distance, speed, and terrain so you can choose the ones you will be comfortable with.   Popular rides tend to be 25 to 50 miles, usually with a lunch or snack stop.
