A road ride every Thursday morning. Ride averages 15 MPH+ and covers 36-40 miles.

Come out and enjoy the beautiful weather, the camaraderie of fellow riders and just clean fun as we pedal our way to Milford (Upper Black Eddy) for bagels / muffins... it's really about the food. The pace is 15 MPH+, the conversation light and the coffee & muffin - well, it just makes a good thing better. Be sure to bring money for the snack break. Hope you can join... The Best Group Ever (BGE). 😀
