This ride provides opportunities for a wide spectrum of riders. It consists of three rides:

The Leisure Ride goes to Brown’s Bakery at NW 10th and Walker, an 11 mile round trip. It is designed for entry-level or family riders. The ride leader adjusts the group speed to that of the slowest rider. A scenic route is used but is adjusted to fit the abilities of the riders.

The Kamp’s Ride goes to Kamp’s 1910 Café at 10 NE 10th. There is an opportunity to eat breakfast. The ride then divides into a variety of longer rides. It is designed for riders above entry-level. The ride leader assigns companions to help show the route to first time riders.
