Distances range from 20 to 50 miles and the amount of climbing can vary considerably. Pace varies according to the terrain.

Friday Hills Rides

Everyone rides the hills at their own pace or skips some altogether.
No-drop rides with regroups and stops as needed.

Freewheeling Friday Rides

Rides designed for cyclists who want a moderate ride that often incorporates parts of more challenging rides but doesn’t go as far or as fast.
These rides are mostly on paved roads but very occasionally on gravel.
Ride length is usually between 20 and 30 miles and often explores neighborhoods in the quad cities area as well as longer highway stretches.
The ride description includes a pdf of the route and a link to the route on Ride with GPS.

Saturday Road Rides

Sunday Saints & Sinners “Casual” Rides

Casual-ish road rides (& occasionally the Peavine Trail or other low-key gravel).
Distances in the 30-mile range.
The pace is casual/moderate but faster riders can head up to the next regrouping point as they see fit.
Routes vary, and attempts are made to find different areas away from some of the busier roadways.
No-drop rides with strategic regroups to keep things casual. Perfect for relaxed Sunday mornings in Prescott.
