Thursday Night Group Ride. This is a 30 mile 16-18 mph average ride. Please refer to their Facebook page for more information.

Escape your routine, come enjoy some great sounds along with a bike ride (part of it at night). It’s a delicious combination of flavors!

We’ve combined a casual ride (some of it at night) with an outdoor music performance in a beautiful setting. Join us each Thursday night at 6:30PM as we ride from the Cleveland Park Zoo approx. 8 miles up to Furman University to enjoy the Music by the Lake Concert Series 2019 (schedule below). The concerts start at 7:30PM and last a little over an hour. Some bring a snack or entire picnic to enjoy during the music. Invite non-rider friends and family to meet you at Furman. After the concert we ride into TR then back down the trail in the dark. Front and back lights required. This ride is sponsored by the Greenville Spinners Bicycle Club. Helmets required and no ear buds please. Signed waiver also required to be part of the event.
