We will be starting the season with a short and easy ride... Kent to Ravenna and back with a total distance of about 23 miles. We will be STARTING later than usual: 10 am.

The ride will start promptly at 6:00 pm. Please try to arrive early. I encourage you to print your own cue sheets below. This is a social ride at a comfortable pace for beginning and casual riders. We do require that riders be able to average 11-13 mph. This is to ensure the rides don‘t go too late and everyone enjoys the ride. The routes vary each week and generally offer a combination of road and paved bike trail riding. No rider is left behind and we regroup frequently. Helmets are required on all ABC rides.  Please no use of ear buds, or cell phones while riding.  Recommend use of rearview mirrors.  By law (and for your safety) a head light, rear reflector and taillight is required 30 minutes prior to sunset, and recommended at all times for additional safety.  Please obey all traffic laws.  Safety is everyone’s responsibility.  Rides are for members and first-time guests.  See Akronbike.org for more information or to become a member.    Come Ride With Us and Enjoy The Ride.

Everyone, For the Wednesday Morning Ride, May 13th we will be riding to the Tallmadge Circle with a rest stop at the Crimson Cup on the circle. The route will be a combination of public roads and the Stow Bike-n-Hike and the Freedom Trail with flat to rolling hills. This will be a loop route with a total distance of 33 miles. We will be leaving the Barlow Rd. Bike-n-Hike parking lot at 10 am. The group will ride at a pace of 13 to 14 mph. We will regroup as needed. Like all ABC rides, this ride is for current members and first-time guests. This year I have decided to slow this ride down, mainly for safety reasons. This will also open the ride up to other members who would like to ride at a slower pace. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before start time to allow for adequate check in time. As always, helmets are required on all ABC rides. Also, no ear buds and no use of cell phones for talking, text, or music while riding. It is also advised during daylight hours to use a good taillight and headlight when riding on public roads. These promote safety and alert drivers to our presence during all hours of the day. Please obey all traffic laws…safety is everyone’s responsibility. Also, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and is in good working condition. Each rider is expected to bring extra tubes, a pump, multi-tool, etc. for any mechanicals you may encounter. Thanks, Phil
