Donuts & Bikes--What a Fun Combo!  This Member* ride cruises thru semi-rural, urban areas, and bike paths.  We'll grab some goodies at The Famous Peterson's Donuts (carbs ARE Fuel!).  At the Finish you may wish to visit the TREK BICYCLE STORE & take a peek at a different kind of "goodies"!

Ride to Eat, Eat 🍩 to Ride!  An easy ride for most ability levels.  This ride is all-about socializing, the celebration of cycling, and having FUN!

*Non-Members are WELCOME to come out for a "test" ride.

Note: Due to the wide-range of fitness and ability levels among cyclists, you should load the course onto your GPS device in case you become separated from the group (ahead OR behind!)

Ride Duration Time is Estimated

All Riders must be self-sufficient (nutrition, hydration, tools, tubes, etc.)

Ride Format

Ride Format

FRCC Rides may have different Groups:

● TEMPO - Brisk pace, 18-22 mph on flat terrain, Occasional Regrouping, Riders May Be Dropped if repeatedly losing contact.

● FITNESS - Endurance pace, 14-18 mph on flat terrain. No Drop with Regroupings as necessary.

● TOURING - Relaxed / Recovery pace, 12-16 mph on flat terrain. No Drop with Regroupings as necessary.

Groups Ride the Same Route and ride together for the first few miles. Members may choose to ride in any group. A rider that loses contact with a chosen group may be absorbed by the following Group IF THERE IS ONE. All Riders should have the route on their GPS device and be fully self-sufficient regarding navigation, roadside repair, nutrition & hydration.

Ride format is only available with sufficient attendance and leadership present.. The availability of a group MAY NOT BE KNOWN until the Ride Start.

No Drop: Group waits for riders with mechanicals, Red-Light “splits”, and occasional “gaps”, etc. Riders should, however, be able to maintain the listed average pace which is based upon flat terrain, without wind or other conditions.
