Local Rides & Events

Let's Ride Together

Helen’s Cycles hosts great local rides, that really bring our community together. Check the schedule below for the rides that work best for your interests and schedule. Rides are subject to change, please check the ride updates on Facebook and Instagram for the most current information. Please be courteous of our neighbors when you arrive. Rides leave from Helen's Cycles location, except as noted. No parking in Helen’s Cycles parking lots.

We offer both road and off-road rides. These are fun rides and not races, but the pace is spirited. We have regular regrouping points.  Please familiarize yourself with the route, and download the ride file if available, so if you fall behind, you can make your way back. Bring an appropriate bike in good working order, fluids, and a helmet. Recommended accessories include: spare tube, inflation, energy food and cash.
