The Saturday group ride start time has been moved up to 11 am!

The start location will remain at Bread.

Usually we will have someone on hand to make the group splits, but be prepared to make the group split and choose the ride amongst yourselves!

These rides are intended to be a little less formal (and a bit more social) than our Tuesday group rides.
