Join us for Our Shop Rides

One of the best ways to enjoy cycling is with other enthusiasts. We can help you learn the rules and find a group suited to your abilities and goals. We have TWO weekly shop rides:

Thursdays, 5:00pm: Out Meridian Ave towards the reservoirs, turn around at Calero

Saturdays, 7:00am: 30-35 miles at moderate speeds (15-18 mph) and hills

Meet at the shop with your bike, helmet, and fluids. You'll need lights for the Thursday rides for a few more weeks. Come by a little early and we can help you get set up. No drop rides, periodic re-groups.

Cycling Glossary - Word of the Day

Keirin –: (Say: Kay - rin) - Keirin is a mass-start track race which originated in Japan as a betting event (sort of like horse racing with humans) and is now also an Olympic event. In traditional Keirin lots are drawn to determine starting positions and 6 to 9 sprinters compete after a paced start. The pacer starts at a slow 15 mph and riders are required to remain behind him. The pacer gradually increases speed and leaves the track approximately 600 to 700 meters before the end letting the racers sprint to the line. The first person across wins.
