Desert Bicycle Club

Every Saturday, the DBC meets at the Palm Desert Civic Center Park parking lot. There are several rides leaving from the same location, all with different cycling skill levels and abilities. Routes can change based on several factors, including weather, road repair, etc.

Thousand Palms Canyon Ride (A Group)
55+ miles, average speed of 21+ MPH, and should be considered an advanced ride. Note: If too windy on north side of freeway, route by be modified to proceed past car dealerships on Varner and proceed east to Dillon Road, then return thru Indio and La Quinta.

La Quinta Cove/Trilogy Ride (B group)

45+ miles, 19+ MPH and should be considered an Intermediate to Advanced ride. Pace can creep up depending on route, road conditions and weather (wind). Should be comfortable riding in a group, two abreast, with small gaps between riders. (Think Peloton) Riders may get dropped due to speed, equipment issues etc. Please know where you are, so you can find your way back. Other riders may stop and wait, but some may not. Be aware.

La Quinta Cove/Trilogy Ride (B2 Group)
Route is usually the same as the B Group, but a slightly slower pace.
45+ miles, 17+ MPH, Intermediate level ride.
Cyclists should be comfortable in a group ride setting, able to repair flats, or other minor mechanical issues. The group may stop and wait, but some may not. Know where you are and how to get back.

C Rides have moved to Sundays and have a separate page.
