Road Bike Rides
Spring 2021 Update - We are not hosting group rides at this time. Our goal is to start them up when there are no Covid concerns. Thank you.
We host weekly road bikes rides during the spring and summer. We also host special event rides. Our routes take us through scenic Glastonbury and the surrounding towns. GPS and Cue sheet files get posted so you'll know where we are riding. Everyone is welcome and our rides are free. We have a group for novice riders, a few groups for intermediate riders, and an advanced group for the fastest riders. Questions? Call or email keith@cyclingconcepts.com 860-633-3444.
