Community Rides
We’re defining a “community ride” as a ride open to anyone, with no membership or registration required and no fees to participate. It’s always a good idea to contact the organizers before your first ride, as these change frequently and we can’t keep up with them all!
- Taco Tuesday meets every Tuesday at 5:30 pm at Franklin Park in Santa Rosa. About 8 miles, 3 hours, dinner at the Roseland taco trucks and ice cream at the end. Contact Juan Chavez.
- Sunday Funday rides meet at 10:00 am on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month at Keiser Park in Windsor.
