Saturday Morning Rides are the best way to be introduced to BCI club rides and to our members. We offer routes to accommodate riders of various skill levels, climbing abilities and pace. All routes share a common food stop where you can refresh yourself, grab a bite to eat, and socialize with other riders.

All rides start from Deerfield Park at 9:00 a.m.

Three routes are offered:  

• The short route is usually 10-15 miles, reasonably flat, with the break at the 7-8 mile point.
• The medium route, 25-35 miles, is usually reasonably flat with one or more hills added to give you a little challenge.
• The long route, 35-45 miles, is the most challenging with more hills and a faster pace.
