No Drop Option: The No Drop ride is an excellent way to introduce new cyclists to the joys of road cycling or allow experienced riders a casual ride with friends. The ride can be as slow or as fast as you are comfortable pedaling. Need to walk up a hill? No problem. Need to stop and catch your breath? No problem. Forget thinking “I’m too slow for a bike club”. The No Drop ride will ensure that all riders remain together and support each other. Many of our riders started out in the No Drop group and have moved on to longer and faster distances.

Location: Wegmans 2281 Carl D. Silver Parkway, Fredericksburg, VA 22401
Join the ride leader for a ~20 mile NIGHT ride on bike trails and downtown city streets in Fredericksburg. We will depart from the Wegmans parking lot at 6:30pm sharp. If the temperature is 35 degrees or less at the start of the ride, the ride will be cancelled.
Mandatory equipment includes a functioning headlight (that can light the road commensurate with your speed), a tail light (steady mode, not flashing), and warm cycling clothes. Reflective clothing is also highly recommended. Expect to be cycling until 8:00 pm while the temperature drops throughout ride. The group will stay together and obey all traffic and trail rules.
Intermediate bike handling skills are required and the ability to stay together as a group with an average pace of 16 mph (at night in the city and on trails this is equivalent to about ~18mph on the open road).
Contact the ride leader with questions before the ride. The leader reserves the right to prohibit any rider from participating that does not have the proper equipment or skills.
The bike trail on Fall Hill Ave has been completed, but the maps have not been update to reflect this. We will ride on the bike path and not on Fall Hill Ave.

FCC Fall Foilage Ride
Ride Description: In lieu of the Great Pumpkin ride that Fauquier County normally hosts, we will be doing a Fall Foliage Ride following last year's Great Pumpkin routes. This is a beautiful ride in the Fauquier county backroads enjoying the fall colors and cool temperatures. This is an unsupported ride and the road markings are questionable so come prepared with food and to cue sheets. While we may still stop at the Vint Hill brewery, there will likely be no free samples. We will start at the Warrenton Branch Greenway. Parking is limited in the area so you may need to park along the street.
Location: Warrenton Branch Greenway, S 4th St Warrenton VA 20186

Start Time: 0900
Location: Berkeley Elementary School 5979 Partlow Road in Spotsylvania, VA.
Ride Description: The "Old" Partlow ride is new again. Now that the long-closed Mt. Olive Road bridge has been re-opened, we are going back to our old, albeit slightly modified routes.
