Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning after many rides, we're delighted to have you with us. The OLLI Biking Group brings together people who enjoy cycling, the outdoors, and good company. Our rides depart from and return to the OLLI parking lot on Plains Road (Lot #25). At present, we meet at 9:45 a.m. for a 10:00 a.m. departure. During warmer months, we typically meet at 8:45 a.m. for a 9:00 a.m. departure. During cooler months, we typically meet at 10:45 a.m. for a 11:00 a.m. departure. Changes to the seasonal schedule are determined collectively by the group and communicated in advance.
Routes: We currently offer two riding groups:
- Longer/Faster Group – Approximately 14 miles at an average pace of about 12 mph
- Shorter/Slower Group – Approximately 10 miles at an average pace of about 8 mph
Both groups primarily utilize the South County Recreation Path which crosses roads in multiple locations. Riders are expected to choose the group that best matches their comfort level, fitness, and preferred riding pace. Pedal-assist e-bikes are welcome.
Both groups depart together and stop for a brief break at Fagan Park before returning. We offer an optional reconvening at TLC Coffee Roasters for a refreshment break (30-60 minutes).
