The Saturday ride meets at the Flower Farm, unless there is an event at the event center in which case we start in Loomis at the Train Station.
There is an A group and a B group. The groups can spread out then you can ride your own pace...usually two or three groups with pairs scattered about and some single riders too.
The ride ranges between 25-30 mi with 1k-1500k ft of climbing
**Parking: Remember to park in the back gravel lots at the Flower Farm; not the spots along the entryway.

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.
