We will do a scenic ride down the Peters Canyon Trail to the Ïreeway Trail, then a short stint in the bike lane on Michaelson. From there we will ride out Strawberry Farms Road to the golf course. We will return via the Sand Canyon Wash Trail to the University Trail, then up Peters Canyon.

Safety First:

Helmets are mandatory for all rides.

We will be observing standard bicycle safety rules, and whenever there are new riders, the host will give a short safety speech before we ride.

Tail lights are highly recommended when we are traveling on surface roads. We do this only for short segments on wide bike lanes.

Water bottles are important for hydration. You should rehydrate at least every 20 minutes.

Silver Spokes is a cycling group specifically designed for senior women who want to stay active on their bikes and socialize, while not aiming to go fast or long. Road bikes and e-bikes are welcome.
