Tuesday Night 20 Mile Ride (TriKat/AEBike)

In partnership with the Kalamazoo TriKats  triathlon club!
Leaves from the parking lot across the street from Alfred E. Bike Tuesday at 6:30pm, weather and daylight permitting. This ride will generally consist of two groups: an 18-20mph "medium group" that knows the route, and a slower group that is affectionally referred to as the "newbie group".
This group is great for those that want to ride at a slower pace, don't yet know the route, or are new to group rides. A representative from either Alfred E. Bike or the TriKats will ride with this group to make sure no one gets lost and to assist in the event of mechanical breakdown.

Tuesday Night 26 Mile Fast Ride (TriKat/AEBike)

In partnership with the Kalamazoo TriKats triathlon club!
Leaves with the medium and newbie groups above, this is a longer route and consists of faster, experienced riders. This group will typically average 20-22mph.

Sunday Afternoon 34 Mile Ride (AEBike)

This is a long, challenging ride that includes a lot of climbing, including the dreaded 6th Street Hill. Most likely leaving at 2pm on Sunday afternoons during the Summer and Fall, but the exact timing is still being worked out. Keep tuned to our Facebook page for updates.
