If you or someone you know is interested riding more, there are several options throughout the KC area that allow you to get more experience riding with a group and on the streets with traffic. Here are some great options with a slow pace that all make sure no one is left behind.

Mondays - Northland
The Wheel Cyclery on Antioch leads a Mell-O Monday ride with 12 or 20 mile options in a relaxed route through the scenic Northland and into historic North Kansas City. The ride leaves at 6:15 p.m. from The Wheel at 5126 NE Antioch, KCMO (Antioch and Vivion). More info from KCBC.

Mondays - Johnson County
The Trek Store of KC leads the Monday Recovery Ride at 6:30 p.m. The route varies every week, but the pace is slow and no one is left behind.  The store is behind the Scooter’s Coffeehouse on Shawnee Parkway, just west of I-35.

Wednesdays - Northland
Cycle City’s Wednesday Fun Ride starts at 6:00 p.m. at 7749 NW Prairie View Road, just south of Zona Rosa near I-29 and Barry Road.

Thursdays - Brookside
One of KCBC’s most popular rides recently added a shorter eight mile option for beginners or casual riders. Ride leader and KCBC Advocacy Chair Laurie Chipman starts each ride with a lesson on safely riding in traffic, signaling, changing lanes, etc. This ride leaves shortly after the main Brookside group at 6:30 p.m. from the north Brookside parking lot (north side of 63rd Street just east of Brookside Blvd).
