Thursday Comfortable Ride (starting April 9th)
The Team is holding a group ride that warmly welcomes bicyclists of all levels to a weekly “COMFORTABLE” group ride on Thursdays in the summer. Whether you’re an experienced rider or a newbie you’ll be welcomed to a casual ride with no pressure to keep up with a hard riding group. The ride will be up to 30 miles in about 2 hours. Be prepared with a spare tube and hydration to go the distance. When anyone gets a flat the group will wait and assist in any way possible. Most riding will be done in Wisconsin with some visits over the river periodically. Departure from the parking lot at the Beach Pavilion of Lakefront Park in Hudson at 5:30.
