Sunday Coffee Rides - route map
Open to the public.
Ride starts and ends at the Birchwood Café at 10am every Sunday from mid-May to the end of August. The ride lasts for 2-21/2 hours and averages 16-18 mph.
The ride typically follows the same route but not always. The Coffee ride is no-drop, but riders should be able to average at least 16mph. We wait for mechanicals but you should be able to fix your own.
There will NOT be a Coffee Ride on Memorial Day Weekend.
