Don’t miss out! This is a family event. The club will provide drinks, hotdogs, hamburgers and condiments. Club members are asked to please bring a salad, side dish, or dessert to share. Bring cash to join in on the 50/50 raffle. You could be a winner! 💸🤑

Details:
9:00-AM start at Mormon Station State Park in Genoa
Note that the weather prediction for Saturday is for cooler weather with a high of 73 predicted for Saturday so I am backing up the start time by half an hour. Please RSVP by Thursday June 5, 2025.

The B ride and the C+ rides will start at 9:00am but the C ride will begin at 9:30am

This is a paid members event but members are welcome to bring a family member or friend. There is a non member participation fee of $5 that can be paid on the Pedalers website.
RSVP:
We need to purchase food so please RSVP by Thursday, June 5. You can message below which type of dish you will be bringing so others can see. If you are requesting plant based burgers/dogs or gluten free buns, please note in messages below. Arrive early enough to drop off your dish so you will be ready to ride on time. Coolers will be available.
If you aren't a club member, then now is the time to become one! You can easily join on the Pedalers.org website.
