Also! Ashland Electric Bikes now has rentals! If you have a friend/partner/Extraterrestrial who doesn't have a bike, or would like to ride an E-Bike (ok, well, maybe not so much an ET!) bring them in and we'll get them outfitted to join us!!!

Note:
This is not an Ashland Electric Bikes event. The store owner has agreed to have the shop open, on non-business days, before and after our rides to allow folks a place to gather outside of the cold, use the facilities and grab any last minute items they might have forgot. There will be a waiver that we ask everyone to sign to make sure they acknowledge this point.

This is a call to bring your family! Bring your friends! Bring your spark! And bring your analog bike, or eBike!

Commence the Spring Social Rides! It’s that time of year where everything starts blooming, the sun is out later, and we are more motivated to get outside and ride! What better way than to get out with other people, enjoy the beautiful Rogue Valley and meet up for some great food, fun, or both!

This week I wanted to take you on a Park and Ride, featuring "Will's Pass!" Wait! Isn't that where you park your car and take public transportation to your destination? It can be! For our ride, we're featuring some of Ashland's many parks! (Hence the Park and Ride nomenclature! XD) What's "Will's Pass?" A route around Lithia Park that one of our awesome current members of Team Rogue Cycles shared w/ the group on one of our last rides!

Route info! We'll meet at AEB at 11:45AM, and then at 12PM we'll go over some basic traffic and group riding rules, we'll do some call and response stretches to warm up (a good friend said that we're not a group unless we do something cringey together!) Then off we ride!

We'll ride a good mix of public streets and protected Greenway. We'll stop at around 10 parks on this ride! Provisions will be group decided when we get to downtown Ashland! After the grubbery, we'll loop Will's Pass once, twice, maybe 3 times, and then it's back to Ashland Electric Bikes! The ride is about 9.6 miles w/ 523ft of elevation gain!

This is an out and back loop! All who ride with us are encouraged to ride as a group, however you are welcome to ride ahead, behind, join on the route, or meet us there!

***Important!
Bring money for food and beverage! And remember your bike lock/helmet!

There is no Support And Gear (SAG) wagon! Please arrive with your protective gear, as well as a tube(s)/pump/tools for the ride in case the ride goes awry! Ashland Electric Bikes (AEB) will have gear and tools available for purchase at the start, as well as the end of the ride.

Also!

We ride rain, or shine! These are the Spring Social Rides! get out of your house and become a bit feral! Here's looking forward to seeing you there!!

Feel free to send me your questions/ comments!
