Tuesday - Thursday Morning

Moderate to strenuous rides of 20 to 40 miles on flat to hilly back roads at 12 to 18 mph.  Riders typically break into smaller groups based on their preferred pace.

Destinations and routes vary, decided by consensus at the start of the ride.

New riders should identify themselves so that regular riders can assist them with routing and ride information since the group may break into various pace groups. Riders should be prepared to ride and navigate on their own if they get separated from the group.

Starting location changes monthly and start time is adjusted for daylight savings time -- see the Club calendar for details.

Tuesday Evening Leisurely Ride

Tuesday evening riders meet at the River Parks parking lot at 68th & Riverside Dr for a ride of from 15 to 20 miles. Overflow parking is available at Tom's Bicycles, 68th & Peoria.

If you are new to this ride, please identify yourself so that we can welcome and assist you.

Up to three pace groups form depending on riders present and pace desires; 8-11 mph, 11-15 mph, and 15-18 mph.

All pace groups are NO DROP and social, with stops for regrouping as needed. Front and rear lights make you more visible, whether riding in daylight or darkness.

HELMETS ARE REQUIRED on all Tulsa Bicycle Club rides.

* Fall/winter rides result in riding after sunset.  ALL RIDERS must have head and tail lights to ride at twilight and in darkness.
** Excessive heat, cold, or other inclement weather conditions can result in the ride reverting to a "show up" ride.  Refer to the Club's Inclement Weather page for guidance, and always check the Club Calendar prior to the ride for updates.

Saturday Morning Club Ride

Most Saturdays, the Club rides from a location specified in the Club Calendar for that weekend.  The ride route and starting time are specified, but may be altered by a consensus of riders at the start.  There is no "leader" as such for these rides and they are not marked.  Maps can be downloaded from the Club's Ride With GPS page and the Ride With GPS smartphone app may be used to navigate the route.

Riders should identify themselves if new to our rides or if they need assistance with routing.  The group MAY NOT RIDE TOGETHER and typically breaks up into various pace groups.  These are NOT “no drop” rides, so riders should be prepared to navigate on their own and take care of their own maintenance issues.
 
Distance and difficulty, as well as expected average speed, can vary widely.  Refer to the ride description on the club calendar for specifics.

Note:  Ride leaders and marked routes have been available in the past, but are currently not being provided.  If you would be interested in leading and/or marking, please contact the Club vice president to discuss.

Saturday Morning Nomad Leisurely Ride

L (Leisurely) - The Nomad Ride has a relaxed pace of 10-12 mph with frequent stops and no-one left behind.  Riders may stop at a restaurant or c-store depending on the group's desire.

The focus is on camaraderie with no one being left behind.

The difference between this and the Saturday Morning Leisurely Ride is that there may be a few more hills, a bit longer distance, and perhaps some rides outside the Tulsa metro area.

It is the Nomad Leisurely Ride’s goal to attract those who enjoy the social, easy-going ride with routes that offer more challenge but the same level of rider support as the Saturday Morning Leisurely Ride.

See the Club Calendar for information regarding the ride from week-to-week.
