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.

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.
