Looking for a Ride?
 
The ride schedule is filling up and our members have some great rides to choose from. Check back frequently, as new rides are being added every day!
 
 
Ride Leaders needed!
Do you have an idea for ride and would be willing to serve as a ride leader? There's always a need for ride leaders, whether you want to lead a ride every week or just a one-time event.  Please contact Scott Sievers or Troy Gilmore to indicate interest. 
RidewithGPS is having a membership drive during the month of April. The RWGPS club that attracts the most new members will have a chance to have the annual fee of $250 waived. 
If you haven't joined the SBC's RWGPS club, now is a great time. Benefits include:
  • Access to all SBC club routes, events and collections
  • Download all routes for offline use
  • Enable turn-by-turn voice navigation, using your phone
  • Wirelessly sync routes to Garmin and Wahoo devices. 
 
Ride Leaders will have access to additional features that include creating and sharing routes.
 
How to join:
Get a link on our Member Discounts page (you must be logged into ClubExpress). Click on the link and you will be added to the club. 
 
Go directly to the SBC's RWGPS Club Account and click "Request to Join". You will be added by the administrators.

Join fellow riders for a new organized ride in the 2022 riding season! We'll meet at Centennial Park for an 8:00 am start and head west. The three-loop course will pass through the Loami Park for a rest stop.

Options include:
Ride all three loops for a 62 mile ride
Ride two loops for a 43 mile ride
Ride to Loami and back for a 21-mile ride
 
Spring Metric Routes on RWGPS

After your ride, head back to Centennial Park for a lunch featuring your choice of burger, hotdogs and various side dishes. We'll start cooking around 12:30. You're encouraged to bring a side dish to share. 

And since it's Easter weekend, we'll throw in a little egg hunt along the route with some opportunities to win prizes.
 
Please RSVP so that we can get a headcount for lunch.  
 
Not riding but have some time to help?  There are several volunteer opportunities that could use your talents!
