SVCG Thursday Night Ride - Ride n' Rock

WEEKLY RIDE ON THURSDAY NIGHTS FOR THE SVCG FAITHFUL!
*************************************************************************
THIS RIDE IS A GRAVEL RIDE.

SPECIAL NOTE - June 5th is our first ride and Rock n' Rails event for 2025. We are starting at a new location in Niwot due to the construction of the Diagonal bike path and the closure of the Niwot Park n' Ride. The new location for meet up (parking) is the Niwot parking lot at 3rd and Murray St. (see map)

SVCG Thursday night tradition of Ride N' Rock (RNR) from Niwot is on again! After a Road or Gravel ride, we will attend the Rock n' Rails concert series. Bring some casual clothes to wear after the ride. The plan is to ride every Thursday when weather and conditions allow. Road, Gravel, E-Bikes and Mountain Bikes are welcome.
