40% of all trips in the U.S. are less than two miles, making bicycling a feasible and fun way to get to get around.
Why bike to work (or wherever!)?

BIKING IS HEALTHY: Bicycling can integrate physical activity into our daily routines
BIKING IS GREEN: Biking curbs your carbon footprint, reduces air pollution and reliance on fossil fuels
BIKING SAVES MONEY: Biking cuts parking, gas and other driving costs while reducing traffic congestion

Join your fellow commuters and coworkers who make the effort to bike to work during National Bike to Work Week!

Join Sugar Bottom Bikes for a Saturday Morning Gravel Drop Ride! Route TBD, based on wind and conditions. Check the SBB Strava page for route details each week. This ride isn’t always a regular occurrence, so check Strava to make sure the ride is happening on a given week.
These rides are a bit longer than the Wednesday rides. Same idea, just longer. Expect about 3 – 3 1/2 hours.
Ride will be a steady tempo pace with no big accelerations or attacking. If there is a big hill we may slow up a bit at the top to wait, especially in the first half of the ride. Expect a 16-17mph pace…but anything can happen.
As always, no sweeper and come prepared to take care of yourself. Have someone you can call in case you get stranded out there. Helmet, Lights, and bike with 35mm tires or wider required.
Ride will be cancelled if starting temp is lower than 40 degrees and winds are stronger than 25mph.
