Sunday Morning Breyer Rides

(10 mph - 1.5 to 2 hrs) Join us for some casual beginner friendly rides starting from Drexel's Salus University Campus on the border between Elkins Park and Jenkintown. We'll meet in front of the Hafter Community Center and Gym. The location has ample free parking and restrooms available in the gym.

This is a good opportunity for people who are new to cycling or simply curious about riding with groups (and for folks recovering from more serious Saturday rides). We'll head away from the campus to less-busy residential streets and paved park pathways nearby. Our first few rides will be about 90 minutes of riding, out and back. We'll stop for a short break, perhaps for coffee in the middle of the ride.

Everyone is welcome. You should have a bike in good repair, with a spare tube in case of a flat. All SCU rides require helmets. if you have any questions, just contact one of the ride leaders.

Four experienced ride leaders who live nearby … Bob Doyle, Diana Dooley, Chuck Herbert, and Fred Niebauer … will take turns leading the rides.

The location will also be the site of Wednesday evening rides and open sessions for new cyclists on some Monday evenings. The Monday sessions will be a great time to ask questions about cycling and bike maintenance, and to practice short, guided rides in a relaxed setting.

The Sunday rides will start earlier in hotter weather. As the season progresses, more serious rides may be offered from this location.
