Come join us on one of the rides below. Note that we ask that you be able to ride a minimum of 12 mph, that you wear a helmet and that you bring a spare tube as well as tire changing tools with you. Most club rides currently meet up on Saturday mornings at 8:15 a.m. with roll-out at 8:30. During the cooler months, we meet around 8:45 a.m. for roll-out at 9:00. After the rides, we often join for a bite to eat at a local venue.
Note: If there is a ride cancellation due to inclement weather or previously unforeseen events, this website will be updated with the cancellation notice at least 1 1/2 hours before the start of the ride. There will also be an email sent to CBTC members.
All guests must sign a waiver prior to roll-out. The ride leader will bring the waiver (and is responsible for having guests sign the waiver). The waiver can be found here: CBTC Ride Waiver
