Freewheelin' Friday rides seek creative routes in the quad city area. They are on mostly paved roads and have varying distances and elevation gain. We ride at a moderate pace, regroup several times and don't leave anyone behind. We start the ride as soon as all those who have signed up have arrived and are ready to go.
