Where: Various (map)
Our Sunday rides are at least 40 miles in length, giving moderate level riders the chance to ride a little further than our average distance. You'll find some rides that are flattish and some that are killer hilly. The average pace of the Sunday rides varies hugely based on the distance and the amount of climb. The start location of this ride varies weekly, so check the calendar.
Tuesday Ride Tue, Oct 5, 8:30am

Tuesday rides are variable, depending on who leads and who shows up. Generally, the climbing is kept under 2000 feet (usually even less), and the distance is 18-25 miles. Often times, there are no regroups due to the short distances offered. This ride's start location currently starts at the Newcastle Park & Ride
Wednesday Ride Wed, Oct 6, 8:30am

Where: Various (map)
Wednesday rides are the most aggressive rides of the week (26-40 miles) and are fairly hilly. Currently, this ride usually starts out of Meadow Vista Park in Meadow Vista. However, always check the calendar for a different start location.
Thursday Ride Thu, Oct 7, 8:30am

No drop, casual paced rides with multiple regroups. Because of our foothill setting the rides are rolling to hilly, and have between 1000 to 2000 ft of climbing in each ride. If you've been riding in the flats and want to experience the foothills, this will be a good ride to join. Because of the climbing, I do not consider these beginner rides. We meet afterward for coffee and chatter.
A Special Thanks to our Supporters

Barbara Crowell
Ghost Bike at Flower Farm
The next time you are at the Flower Farm, check out the ghost bike w/ angel rider in memory of Barbara Crowell. The sculpture is nestled in the garden area near the main entrance off Horseshoe Bar Rd. The ghost bike was built and donated by local artist and former SFCC VP Joe Hernandez.
What a beautiful way to remember Barbara who tragically died in a bike/auto accident near Forest Hill Bridge. Many thanks to Joe to help make the Flower Farm a special place for SFCC riders to visit.
