Coffee House Ride - Desert Sun Bagel Company
Daily Bagel, 495 Morrill Ave, Reno, nv, USAbout 11 miles C rating
9:00 AM
Start: Desert Sun Bagel Company (used to be The Daily Bagel!)
Ride Leader: Tim Sullivan
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/55146822Description: This is a social ride, about 11 miles in length, on a variety of urban and neighborhood streets. A spectacular view overlooking the valley in University Heights is worth the climb! Though relatively short and slow paced, some traffic and hills would rate a C level. We will regroup as necessary to break the uphills. Following the ride, we will be at Desert Sun Bagel where you can enjoy your choice of coffee, espresso drinks, and smoothies with an array of bagels, toppings and fillings. Ikheym, enjoy!
There is ample outdoor seating. Reno PD seems to have cleaned-out a lot of the sketchier residents of East 5th Street, so not quite the adventure that this location has been in the past!
RIDE SERIES DESCRIPTION: The Pedaler Coffee House Rides are designed for those who want a relatively easy, social ride, with the main goal of hanging out for good pastry and espresso after the ride. Most would be rated C/C-. We will depart from a different coffee house or bakery each time. When it warms up and we can start early, we will do breakfast rides (open to real members only, and subject to sign-up deadlines!).
E-BIKE NOTE: The ride leader is unable to handle e-bike mechanical issues (battery failure, flat tires, etc). Please have a backup plan for these events. Class 2 e-bikes are not permitted as they are not covered by club insurance.
RIDE SWEEP: Most of these rides will NOT have an official "sweeper." The ride leader will aim to regroup at certain points. We do not want to lose anyone; however, please note the ride levels (C).
NOTES: Check the Meetup posting 2 hours before ride time for weather-related and other changes. Helmets are required and bikes should be in good working order. For the safety of all riders, please do not use earbuds, headphones, or music players as they can interfere with the ability of riders to hear safety warnings (e.g. "Car back"). It is recommended you wear bright colors so drivers can see you. Our ride leaders may offer help with bicycle mechanical issues but are not bike mechanics. Be sure your bike has been checked by a proper mechanic to be sure it fits you correctly and is operating properly. Bring tire-changing tools, a spare tube & pump (or CO2 cartridge set-up), and you should know how to change a tire & care for your bike.

Summer Coffee House Rides (PLACEHOLDER!)
Location not specified yetPLACEHOLDER! The summer Coffee House ride series will start on Wednesday, April 15, and continue until the end of September, weather permitting. I'm sincerely hoping that we end up NOT missing any rides due to wildfire smoke, snow, rain, etc. The plan is to post each week's ride by Sunday before the ride, with the time (varies), location (always different!), and a rough outline of the route. Detailed route cue sheets get handed-out at the ride start.
RIDE SERIES DESCRIPTION: The Pedaler Coffee House Rides are designed for those who want a relatively easy, social ride, with the main goal of hanging out for good pastry and espresso after the ride. Most would be rated C/C-. We will depart from a different coffee house or bakery each time.
