See FVBSC COVID-19 Response here. All cyclists must adhere to state and local COVID guidelines and restrictions, as well as the FVBSC Group Ride Guidelines. FVBSC assumes cyclists participating in group rides will use good judgment regarding their eligibility and agree to the guidelines.

RIDES

Rides are offered in a variety of formats, including road, trail, gravel and Zwift rides in various distances and speeds all throughout the week.  Our goal is to provide safe and diverse rides that appeal to all types of cyclists, ranging from beginner/casual to advanced.  Although the majority of our rides run from mid-April to October (depending upon weather), we do schedule rides anytime weather permits, including during weekends in the winter months.  Most rides occur in the Fox Valley area, but out-of-town day rides or group trips are offered as well.  Bios of our exceptional ride leaders can be found here.  Please utilize our Events Calendar as your ride information resource.  Questions?  Contact our Ride Director at rides@fvbsc.org for more information.

FVBSC offers 15 regularly-scheduled standing rides per week, ranging from novice/casual to advanced. There is something for everyone!  Newer riders are encouraged to start in the novice/casual group to learn basic cycling techniques, safety protocols and group ride dynamics.  Many members quickly advance to intermediate rides, where skill, strength and endurance building happen. Experienced riders enjoy faster speeds, longer distances and higher elevations, often in a single or double pace line.  All of our rides (except Advanced) are “No Drop” rides, meaning you will never get left behind.
