Every ride we’ve run has been very thoughtfully organized, we vet each route, we are careful to put riders on appropriate terrain in line with what we’ve communicated. The purpose of most of our rides is to add fun in cyclists’ lives, offer adventure and exposure to new areas, provide participants a sense of accomplishment, and connect riders of similar interests.

Some of our specialty rides, like bikepacking trips, offer riders a chance to test equipment in a safe environment.

We have captured very few of the thousands of positive comments and experiences riders have had on our rides over the past 13 years. Now that we have a place to put these and share them with other riders, we hope you email us with your experiences so we may continue to bring more people to the cycling community.

Thank you for putting together another amazing fun route. I had such a blast yesterday. For me one of the great parts was starting as one of the first groups and when getting passed by faster groups, being able to have a short little chat with some familiar faces before they took off again. I had a great time meeting new people as well. Missed the pre-ride tea, but the post-ride food was superb! Loved the salad (I just love veggies, especially salads and fruit). Grilled cheese and the soup as something warm were perfect for this time of year and hit the spot. Thank you so much! Also, thank you for keeping these events at an affordable price. - Y.M.

I had a great Brutiful ride. I really enjoyed the route. It had a great blend of just enough of everything- and it helped that the weather was great. I can’t imagine how much time and effort it takes to put these together but you and Rob nailed this one. Looking forward to more rides. - J.C. Brutiful Cape Ride

I saw a number of people on what looked like commuters, hybrids and even a couple of mountain bikes [at the social distance gravel ride]. So good to see people embrace this type of riding. I'm impressed by the concept, and the way you guys really nailed the execution. - G.S. Social Distance Gravel Ride
