What we’re about
Bicycle rides for all skill levels since 2012.
WVCBR was a group designed for the everyday rider. It allowed folks from all ability levels to come together and ride without egos.
Event activity level, route distance, ride surface and speed vary, based on group preference. The focus of this group is to promote a healthy lifestyle and year-round activity in a relaxed social atmosphere.
NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND. Helmets and hydration means are mandatory.
Use lights for any rides other than in bright daylight.

New Item: Please take a moment to sign Waiver Form
HELMETS REQUIRED! Unfortunately, if you don't have a helmet, we cannot let you ride with us, it's THAT important... Also, this being Arizona, bring as much hydration as possible. We will stop as needed, but FLUIDS!
As a courtesy: If you've signed up for any of our events, and can't make it, please UNCHECK your RSVP... if we see a rider is signed up, a ride leader will attend, and it's not fair to make someone sit, or ride alone... THANKS!
Since we don't have the Farmer's Market where it was for the last couple of years, we'll do something else. We have some people who enjoy the grittier side of cycling... mountain bikers and gravel riders... so this ride is for US! We will keep getting dirty every other week until Arizona tells us it's time to rethink our life's decisions, trying to ride offroad in 100+ degree heat...
As with all rides, this is even MORE important: BRING HYDRATION!
Starting spots may change - depending on the route, we'll let you know at least a week before the ride.
For Paloma Park, here is more info:
Distance - at least 5 miles of hardpack trail. There are some faster sections but they aren't loose rocks and gravel. The trails extend all over the park, and we can branch off in several different places to extend the ride. For the adventurous - There are some BIG CLIMBS and FAST DESCENTS, but if you do those, you're on your own... we won't be going to that section.
For the most part, the trails we've tested have been fairly flat... there was one climb... 200 feet, and maybe longer than a city block, but it was a straight climb, no curves or surprises - also hard pack.
Finally, our test run was just over 6 miles and it took 90 minutes to complete... we DO NOT push a fast pace. I'll be honest, I was the one holding us back... I'm slow, so they were too 😁
PLEASE let us know if you have ANY questions... HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

This ride is... we're not sure how to categorize it. We ride whatever kind of bikes. Could be fixies, MTBs, eBikes, gravel, road bikes... whatever. We meet at Rio Vista, and ride 10-18 miles at night.1 attendeeDirty Riders! MTB and Gravel Rides
