Coastal Cruisers

The goal of this bicycle group is to enjoy scenic rides along the shorelines of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island while connecting with others who share a love for coastal cycling and the outdoors.

Our rides are about meeting new people, building friendships, and spending a few relaxing hours together enjoying the ocean views, fresh air, and good company. Whether you’re an experienced rider or just enjoy casual rides, this group welcomes anyone with similar interests and a positive spirit.

Rides are approximately 3.5 to 4 hours long and could go over as someone might encounter a flat tire or repair issue with their bike. We will stop to assist that member.

Breaks will be every 5 to 6 miles and I will try my best to find areas along the way that have bathrooms or porta potties.

The majority of my rides will begin at 11:00am sharp, with a suggested arrival time of 10:30am. Please arrive at the meetup point at least 30 minutes prior to the start time, in order to prepare your bicycle for departure.

We are a "No Drop" group. Which means, no one is left behind. I have walkie talkies, which alerts me if anyone is falling behind or has an issue.

Helmets help prevent head injuries. Please wear one on every bike ride. This is mandatory for your own safety.

Head and tail lights are required on all rides ending after sundown. Reflective gear is strongly recommended. I will do my best to find and lead safe rides. Each rider must keep their own bike and gear in proper condition, follow all traffic laws and follow safe riding practices. Keep the correct size spare tire tube with you on all rides. Please check your tires for proper tire pressure before each ride.

Clothing suggestions- You don't need to dress in the latest cycling gear to attend. This will still be a casual affair but padded pants and shorts, faster drying breathable shirts and biking gloves are recommended. Rides continue into colder months so use layers of clothing that can be adjusted as necessary.
Type of bicycle- The majority of our riders use E-bikes and hybrid bicycles. These work best at our pace of 10 to 12 MPH and ride better on stone dust trails and off road. Your local bike shop is the best place to purchase one.
