Yes! We want you to walk away from this ride, having made at least one new pal and a greater sense of clarity of the types of adventure you want to go on in the coming spring and summer! We do this through combining biking with other activities like guided journaling and sharing circles.
Yes! Safety is key and wearing a well fitting bike helmet is not only smart, but required to ride with us. If you arrive without a bike helmet or choose not to wear a bike helmet, you will be required to leave the ride without a refund.
