Meets at Palmer Park

Welcome to the Janesville Velo Club Tuesday Casual Ride! As the name implies, this ride is for those of us who are not overly concerned with performance, but enjoy getting out on our bikes for fun and exercise. Beginners are welcome, and encouraged to come along. Casual attire – “Spandex free” is the norm, but we will always welcome any riders of all experience levels. Bring water. Helmets are required!

Our speed will vary from 12 to 16 MPH, although we will not leave anyone behind! If you don’t think you can ride that fast, you will be surprised at how riding with a group enhances your performance. If you think 12 to 16 MPH sounds too slow, the fun & camaraderie of participating in a group ride will provide a great experience, nonetheless.

As we get later into the season, and find out how many riders we have and what your desires & abilities are, we will have many routes to choose from. I enjoy a combination of riding on our excellent trail system and the also the many scenic and lightly traveled country roads surrounding Janesville. This is YOUR ride, and I am always looking for input and ideas for routes. We will start the season with about a 1-1/2 hour ride, and may choose to go farther as the days lengthen.
