Ride with the Turtles and Turbos

Cyclists who are able to ride 20-25 miles in the course of a morning are encouraged to join the Turtles and Turbos for a Tuesday or Thursday morning ride. Join us for lunch at the end of the ride.

Turtle Rides start in the Spring with the April-May-June issue of the Gateway newsletter. Maps and/or cue sheets are available at the beginning of every ride. No one is left behind. We stay in small groups. Bring a filled water bottle, snack, tube, tire changing tools, a pump, and lunch money.

Develop Your Riding Skills

For people who feel Turtle rides may be too challenging for them, some Turtles would make themselves available to serve as Turtle Tutors. Tutors would be willing to go on shorter rides to help prospective Turtles improve their riding capability. Arrangements could also be made to accomodate riders who find themselves unable to complete a ride. Please go to the Contact Us page and contact one of the people listed there.
