VeloMelo provides forums for cyclists of similar skill sets and interests to get together and collect adventures. Our local rides occur on a regular basis but vary by time of year. We encourage members to post group ride opportunities in addition to our core events.
Group Ride Schedule:
Saturday
Wootton / K2 Cafe Ride
9:00 AM Start March - May
This diverse group ride meets every Saturday morning year-round, except when road conditions warrant cancellation or temps fall under 40 degrees.
Although the ride has a reputation for being highly competitive in the AA Group, a majority of the riders participate in what we now call our Adventure Group. This group explores the natural beauty of the western Montgomery County countryside. We ride at a brisk pace but prioritize comradely over hammering the hills. EVERY ride stops at K2 Cafe for a coffee break!
Routes always start at Thomas Wootton High School and vary in distance by time of year ranging from 40-65 miles.
Spring 55: 4/11
Better Bucklodge: 4/18
Explore Sugarloaf 55: 3/21, 4/25
River +: 3/28, 5/2
Flat & Fast: 4/4, 5/9
