Wheeling Wheelmen Weekly SATURDAY Honey-do Ride

Welcome to our SATURDAY morning Honey-do ride, one of our nine weekly rides! It starts at an earlier time of 8AM , rolls with multiple pace groups, and for 30 to 72 miles, depending on the chosen route.

Since we don't have a host, it'll be a show-n-go; no cue sheet will be provided, and no paper sign-in. Use a link below for directions or download a route to your GPS (if you are a Wheelmen member.)

Do add a comment after RSVP on your desired route so others may plan to ride with you. Alternatively, you can decide at the start which group of riders to follow.

Here is the detailed info for this ride:
