Shop Group Rides

These rides typically take place Spring through Fall and sometimes during Winter, all subject to changes due to weather.  All but the mountain bike rides leave from the Sourland Cycles shop and ride the hills of the Sourlands.  

A HELMET is REQUIRED on all rides; LIGHTS REQUIRED on all road rides.  If you have not ridden your bike in several months, please bring it into the shop for a tune-up.
