Weekday & Evening Rides

May 17 (Wed) 6:45 pm D 10 North Frederick Elementary School
Ride of Silence

Join us as we raise cycling awareness during Bike Safety Month and honor those cyclists who have been killed or injured on our nation's roads. This 10 mile ride will proceed in silent memorial at no more than 12 mph through the streets of downtown Frederick obeying all laws and traffic controls to demonstrate cyclists intent to safely share the road with other vehicles.

Wednesdays 6:00 pm C 20-25 Glade Elementary School
The Glade Brigade

** Note - there will be no ride from Glade on May 17th - See Ride of Silence above **

No, this isn't a new squadron of air freshener combat troops. It's an easy mid-week spin where new riders are welcome as this is a social ride and also a recovery ride for those who choose to push harder on Monday and Tuesday nights. No one will be left behind. Usually no go in rain and ride leader duties will alternate through the season so some weeks may be impromptu.

Thursdays 6:00 pm B 25-35 Bechtel
Bechtel Rides
The rides leave from the Bechtel parking lot (along the woods) at 5275 Westview Drive (off Crestwood close to Rt. 85) at 6:00 PM. Bring lights (front and rear) as we may still ride into the night. A couple of hills, no one left behind.

Adopt-A-Road Pickup
Come out and get trashed with the Frederick Pedalers as we do our part to keep FredCo beautiful by picking up trash along Bethel Road between Opossumtown Pike and Mountaindale Road. It's always a fun time and Bill 'Dough Boy' Smith usually brings yummy bagels from Panera.

Long pants, a long sleve shirt, sturdy shoes and work gloves are recommended.

The epic journey that changed the ride leader's life is back for 2006. We'll meander along the quiet country roads surrounding Lewistown. It's not flat, but there are no long hills. One planned rest stop approximately half-way through the ride, and we'll stop as desired by the group. We will ride as a group and no one will be left behind.

The Sunday Morning Road Ride
The entire group stays together for about an hour then usually breaks into two smaller groups, a faster ride and a slower ride. Ride goes if it is not too windy and the roads are dry.
