We try to ride together often. Check our Message Board & Calendar for the week's current ride planning and status.
While we welcome guests on our regular rides, we do require that you wear a helmet. Our club has been very active in bicycling advocacy and as such, our expectation is that all cyclists on our rides or wearing our club jerseys will abide by traffic laws, be safe, and be courteous to other road users.
Normally we do not conduct an official club ride if:
Our standard club rides follow seasonal schedules:
Please verify our Message Board & Calendar or our Facebook group for the current week's start times.
Generally our club will ride here on Wednesday evenings.
All routes begin from the Benbrook YMCA / ballfield parking lots on Winscott Road near US377. Each week's route specifics are determined at the ride start.
Bring $2 or your $40 annual Army Corps of Engineers pass for rides on the Lake Benbrook park roads.
We conduct rides from The Trailhead at Clearfork on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as participation warrants.
Specific routes are determined by the ride leader.
Ride start time currently scheduled for 6:00PM. Check our Facebook group events for the most current ride information
The ride tempo is appropriate for Pacer cyclists; distance is around 20 miles.
Our members often plan Tuesday and Thursday evening rides from the Lockheed Martin main plant. Non-employees are welcome to join the ride starting outside the facility. The ride pace is appropriate for Swifty or strong Pacer cyclists, with 35-mile and 22-mile options. Ride start time will be set by the ride organizers between 4:30PM and 5:30PM to accommodate work schedules and seasonal variations in temperatures, daylight, and ride duration.
On Saturdays we ride to a local restaurant and have breakfast. We organize those present into three groups: Cruisers, Pacers, Swiftys. Each group has its own group leader(s), route, and rides approximately 60-90 minutes to meet the other groups at the restaurant. After breakfast all groups ride back to the ride start together. This is a social ride with opportunities to add more miles afterwards ... and no one rides alone. See our Message Board & Calendar for start times.
We recommend our breakfast rides especially for newer cyclists to meet our club and gain experience riding with a group.
Our breakfast rides will start at The Trailhead at Clearfork. Destinations are posted on our website calendar and Facebook group events.
We begin at 8:00AM while on our summer schedules and at 9:00AM during our winter schedules
One destination is selected each week. Map to favorite destinations
We will participate in other rides throughout the year. Our Message Board & Calendar and Facebook group events will show club rides, local charity rides, community cycling awareness and advocacy rides, and impromptu rides planned by our members.
