The lazy, hazy days of summer are upon us. These rides are mostly old favorites. Remember that the summer rides begin at 9:30 a.m. to take advantage of cooler morning hours. Also note the Friday rides. We enjoy meals together during or after the ride. Non-bicyclists are most welcome to join us for lunch and social time, so call one of our coordinators if you would like to join us. Triathletes who would rather eat than ride are welcome at our annual Triathlon.
Detailed directions are available at OLLI-CSUF about a week before a ride. Safety helmets are required, and water bottles are necessary.
