Club meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month, except when a special event that month is held in its place, and usually involve guest speakers ranging from acupuncturists and other health professionals to folks who have cycled in different countries. And, of course, the meetings always involve FOOD, whether it be a potluck or meeting in a local restaurant.

In addition to these regular meetings, the club hosts activities throughout the year that either combine recreation with the meeting, or are just plain fun and recreation-oriented. For example, in the Spring, the club sponsors a membership drive, which combines both a ride and a picnic, free of charge, to members and those who are thinking about becoming members.

The Fall brings several events, including the “Donald Holcombe Memorial Picnic” which includes a 17-mile ride through Texas Valley, followed by a catered BBQ dinner at the Rocky Mountain Project Pavilion.

Then, at the peak of leaf season, there is the “Fall Colors Ride”, which is usually a 30-60 mile ride through some of the most beautiful fall foliage in the state (the route changes yearly).

In November, there is the annual “Chili Ride” at Berry College, which starts off with on or off-road rides and then is followed by a chili dinner/potluck (as you can see, we like to eat as well as ride!)

We end the year with our Christmas Party (catered by the club) and fun gift exchange, a chance to get together and socialize at a time with some folks aren’t riding as much due to the cold.
