About us
Looking to feel more confident on your bicycle and have fun riding with others? Join us for free, beginner-friendly group rides in a relaxed and supportive setting!
Each event offers two ride options happening at the same time:
- Easy Rider: ~20 miles at around 12 mph
- Easy Rider Plus: a bit longer and slightly faster for those ready to level up
Both rides are no-drop, so no one gets left behind.
We meet twice a month and explore a variety of scenic routes around Ventura. Along the way, we include bathroom stops and a snack/coffee break, making the rides even more enjoyable and accessible.
Each ride starts with friendly introductions, a quick briefing, and a bike safety check. Perfect for anyone building skills or getting back into riding.
Riders of all ages are welcome. Kids with adult supervision. If you can comfortably ride 20 miles at 12 mph, you’ll be right at home on our Easy Rider rides, and Easy Rider Plus is there when you're ready for a little more challenge.
E-bikes welcome!
Please complete our online waiver before your ride.
Hosted by Channel Islands Bicycle Club and BikeVentura.
