As America turns 250, help celebrate this historic birthday on Saturday, July 4th with a special event ride. Starting at Mad Duck Cyclery in Grapevine, Texas, the event will feature multiple pace groups riding various distances that collectively add up to 250 total group miles!
Join our diverse North Texas cycling community for this free, fun, and memorable ride.
After the ride, stay for the party! We plan to have food trucks, water, and soft drinks available for post-ride refueling.
Remember to wear your FWBA jersey and show your club spirit.
There will be several ride distances to choose from, with each route led by one of the club's ride leaders. The pace listed for each group is the expected average speed, and riders will travel in a peloton-style formation. Please arrive no later than 7:30 a.m. to allow time for group assignments and ride organization.
Some groups may split into different pace levels depending on their size. FWBA will have ride leaders for the "A2 Group," averaging a little slower at 17–18 mph, and the "C Group," averaging 15–17 mph. If you would like to ride with other FWBA members, please sign up for one of these two options on the PBA website.
If you choose one of the other pace groups, that's great, but please be sure you can comfortably maintain their advertised pace and follow their group-riding guidelines.
Routes are available on the PBA event calendar. Be sure to download the route for your selected pace group before the ride.
Here is the link to register on the PBA event site. Everyone participating in this event is REQUIRED to register. If you'd like to ride with FWBA members, sign up for either the A2 Group or the C Group. Otherwise, feel free to select another pace group that best matches your riding ability.
