About us
NMCG hosts bike rides of varying lengths and speeds in the northern metro and beyond. Whether you want to start cycling, get back into cycling, meet other cyclists, improve your health, or just mix socializing with exercise, this group has something to offer. This group is open to cyclists of all skill levels.
We will organize at least two rides a month, one on a weekday evening and one on a weekend. We will ride on both bike paths and roads that are suitable for safe cycling (e.g. large shoulders or bike lanes). Each ride will have its own description so riders know what to expect and can decide if the ride is appropriate for them.
While NMCG will do its best to choose safe and enjoyable routes, each rider will be responsible for their own safety by:
-Wearing a helmet at all times during the ride and using other safety gear (e.g. lights, mirrors, reflective clothing) as appropriate
-Participating in rides that reflect their physical fitness and abilities
-Riding responsibly and respecting the rules of the road or path
-Bringing adequate nutrition and hydration based on the type of ride and the weather conditions
-Bringing basic emergency equipment (e.g. patch kit, bike pump or other inflation device, etc.) with them on the rides
-Bringing any medicine they may need for acute or chronic medical conditions while riding
-Notify other riders if they experience medical or other problems during the ride
-Any other action that will keep themselves and the group safe during the ride.
We may incorporate social events into the rides, such as ending a ride at a restaurant, coffee shop or brewery, or cycling to a specific event. We may also organize social events that do not include actual cycling (e.g. presentations about cycling trips, tips for improved performance, maintenance classes, etc.).
