Description: This Saturday morning weekly ride begins and ends in the Publix grocery store parking lot located at 7200 Cosby Village Road, Chesterfield, VA 23832. Rides will vary in length between 30 and 60 miles depending on the season. Throughout most of the year we begin the rides at 8:30 a.m. but adjust the starting time to 8 a.m. during the months of July and August and 9 am in the winter.

Routes vary on a weekly basis and details including a link to a download for a Ride with GPS turn-by-turn map will be posted on the club’s message board a day or two in advance. Non-members are encouraged but not required to contact the ride leader in advance as we’ll gladly forward the route and answer any questions. Most, but not all, routes will have a store stop for refueling. Please don’t be shy about reaching out for more information. We want you to ride with us!

Most routes feature long stretches of quiet roads in the western and southern parts of Chesterfield County. We often combine the neighborhoods of Magnolia Green, Woodlake, Harpers Mill, and Hampton Park taking advantage of reduced vehicle speeds and additional lanes allowing for traffic to easily pass. All rides will have an A pace ride leader, and many are planned to have a B+ leader (when available-please check with the ride leader in advance). Others are always welcome to attend. We’ll try our best to match you with similar riders, but you are also free to ride your own pace. It is our goal to expand the pace groups to include as many cyclists as possible so check the calendar and message board often for the latest updates.

Parking: Out of respect for the local businesses we ask that you park in the spaces farthest from the grocery store and near the dumpsters as you face the entrance to Publix. These are the dumpsters located between the grocery store and Autozone in the corner near Sand Dollar Beach Kitchen. When you arrive, you'll see a row of parking spaces running parallel to Hull Street with dumpsters at one end. Let's park and meet there.

While this is not intended to be a no drop ride leaders will do their best to match riders of similar abilities. We can regroup at intersections if necessary.
