Rides and Activities
The Team Calendar is packed with Team Rides, Safety Training Sessions, Picnics and Parties.
We are teaming up with the Chevron Cycling Team and other teams to hold training rides. This will allow Team members to ride in larger groups to practice cycling skills and hopefully find someone that rides at your level. These rides, as well as all MS 150 Recommended Rides are listed on the calendar below along with links to maps and detailed information.
Many of our Sponsoring Bike Shops have graciously invited our Team members to participate in their local rides. Check our Team Discounts page for links to access their Local Ride Calendars.
