What we’re about
Tom wanted to get out in 2020 to connect with friends and get some exercise while staying socially distanced... so he created his own bike club: Tom Rides! We typically ride for a couple hours on the weekend, usually Saturdays, and often end up a one of our fabulous local taprooms.
If you like cycling and socialzing and are comfortable riding in the 15 - 18 mph avg speed then you should join us. (Ask Tom for more intense workout options!)
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Thursday WorkoutsBoom Island Brewing Company and Taproom, Minnetonka, MN
This will be 23 miles of 100% road cycling at roughly a B level of effort.
We often ride together (no drops) until the top of "Richard T" and then,
if there's enough interest for those that need to ride faster,
some like to sprint back to Boom. Recommended for those that
are comfortable with groups rides and forming a pace line
(or willing to learn)!Join us to build your endurance and make friends for the 2025 season!
