Group Rides

How Group Rides Work

Build community and confidence riding from point A to B on safe and scenic bike routes with a facilitated group ride experience. We'll meet at 10am and have free coffee and snacks in the morning and then a yummy warm lunch for all riders after the ride. Limited to 25 riders, spots fill up fast!

These rides are one of several group rides Modo will be hosting in 2024, next up will be summer time with location and route TBD! Stay tuned! All riders are encouraged to sign up for the Santa Cruz County Bike Challenge and log their ride for a chance to win the $1000 grand prize for one Santa Cruz County resident.
