Ride Details
Summer Rides
These rides are intended for MBRC members and their guests. We do not wish to exclude other riders. We are just trying keep the participation at a safe and manageable number for everyone's benefit. The group rides are run in a double file formation unless we have traffic behind us. Then we'll switch to single file to let passing vehicles get by. ALWAYS ride as far to the right side of the road as is reasonably possible and obey all traffic laws.
For your own safety: Helmets are mandatory for all riders participating in MBRC rides!
