Sunday 2:00 PM | Cleveland Park (near the zoo entrance)

Join us for our ongoing Sunday Swamp Rabbit trail ride. We gather at the Zoo entrance at 2:00 PM and ride on the Swamp Rabbit Trail up to Travelers Rest then pedal back to Cleveland park. It is about 12 miles to TR and 12 miles back. We stop for a treat in TR then head back down the trail. If there are too many pedestrians downtown we take surface streets to get around them. Helmets and signed waiver are also required.

Orange Bees/Wild Ace Pizza and Pub Tuesday night rides.

30ish miles of rolling terrain from downtown Greer out toward Reidville. Then join us for a pizza buffet at Wild Ace Pizza and Pub.

$10 for pizza, salad, and drink (tea or soda or a domestic pint)

There will be a dedicated B group that will cut some corners to get back in time to eat. Both groups will regroup after climbs, and no one is left behind.

We will get a head count before we roll to have tables setup and pizza ready.

Keep short route until days get longer:

Meet at 5:45 pm behind the A and B groups. This is a great opportunity to learn group riding skills with no traffic interruptions with a welcoming and helpful bunch of women. You should have some experience with riding clipped in, and be able to hold an average speed of 14 or 15mph on your own. As a group we can go faster than that. As the season progresses, so will your skill level, your comfort level and your fitness.
