Delta Pedalers offer regularly scheduled bike rides throughout the week as well as specially scheduled away rides. All of our rides are open to members, non-members, and guests. The following are the weekly scheduled rides. Don’t forget to check out our Away Rides & Events calendar.
Cycling is inherently dangerous. Helmets are required! Riders ride at their own risk!
Although the following will have periodic updates, we are primarily a Facebook group… so look there for the most current updates!
These times will change. We move ride times up or back seasonally based on light/weather/group preference. Plan to arrive 10 minutes before the ride begins.
