Welcome to the 2024 season of group rides sponsored by Stedman's Bike Shop
These rides leave the shop weekly and are open to the public. All participants must complete a 2024 Season Rider Registration (once a year).
NEW FORM
Scheduled rides and their start times are posted in the calendar below. We ask that you “sign up” for individual rides. This allows the Stedman’s ride leaders to know how many riders will be participating in the various ride groups offered. To sign up, select the ride in the calendar, then select the event registration and information link, complete and submit the short form.
On ride day, please be respectful of our neighbors and do not park in other business’ parking lots. Parking in the immediate area is available on Main Street, Woodruff Ave and also west on Main St behind the comfort station where the bike path crosses. Assemble ride groups on the sidewalk and not in the road so as to not impede traffic on Woodruff Ave.
