only friends you haven’t yet met.”

Wheely Good Group Rides    

At Wheely Good, we work to post a variety of different rides. From those just catching an interest in biking to those seasoned cyclist training for their next big race, we want to ride with you. We wish to make each ride fun and safe with a focus on connecting with others and enjoying the beauty outside. When a ride is posted, we will detail the distance, estimated speeds and meeting time and place.  

Upcoming

Stay tuned for 2020 spring rides!

Rides

Gravel Rides: We are riding more and more gravel each year and loving it. We live by some amazing country gravel roads and tree-lined trails. These rides are peaceful and get us off the busy roads.

Road Rides: A favorite of all our road riders and triathletes. Each route is carefully planned to avoid the busy roads. We aim to keep the route on nicely paved roads with wide shoulders. We can each do our part to make the ride safe for all. Things like obeying traffic laws, riding in a group, bike lights and reflective clothing are all ways to be more visible to motorists.

Women’s Only Rides: Launching in 2020 and something we are pretty jazzed about. Our goal is to post a few of these during the season and see what happens. We want this to be a welcoming, all-abilities ride for ladies looking to gather together to ride and connect.

Family Rides: These wonderful rides are a great way to connect with others in our community. From young to old, all are welcome. We usually pick a packed limestone or paved trail.
