Ride Policy
Coastal Cyclists rides are open to any rider. You should be able
to ride the distance and terrain. You
should carry a spare tube, pump, and tools and know how to use them.
Rides listed are road rides unless listed as off-road. If you have a
question about a ride, please check with the person listed as contact person. If it is raining
or below 50 degrees, call the contact person to see if the ride will go as
scheduled.
Paces listed with rides are only guestimates unless so stated.
If you need more information, again check with the contact person.
If you want to post a ride, or have additions, corrections, or
removals for the list below, please contact the
Webmaster.
Rides depart at the indicated time. Arrive early, so you can
prepare without holding up your fellow riders!
