After welcome and safety, we’ll head up around the north end of town. As we approach Farrell & Vista Chino, riders will choose short (in town) or longer routes (out to Palm Desert). Riders should arrive fed with a fully operational bicycle, 2 water bottles, helmet, shoes & sunglasses. It all starts here and now. Commit to training, please don’t wait. Our team kickoff social will follow at 4 pm at Grand Central.
All skill levels are welcome! If any ride is too much, we will work with you on making sure you have alternatives to the entire route. You will have a great bike ride. That’s a win! And remember, safety is critical. We will be following all bicycling laws and regulations as well as COVID regulations.!
