The Lucky 13 KBC Solo Rides

The Kalamazoo Bicycle Club announces The Lucky 13 KBC Solo Rides for your cycling pleasure.  These rides all have long histories as favorite, regular KBC Monday night, Wednesday night, and weekend rides.  Some are easier, some harder and hillier.  Some are paved, some have gravel mixed in.

Many of these rides would have been group rides occurring during Kalamazoo Bike Week, May 9-16, so we were inspired to create an alternate way to encourage everyone to get outside and ride, stay active stay healthy, and stay sane!  Please go to kalamazoobikeweek.org to see all the other great activities available.

If you find a route that you like, send us your story and pictures of your ride.  Tell about the route, wind and rain, flora and fauna, and dogs.  We might even pick some of the stories to put in the Pedal Press, and give out some surprise prizes for the best ones!  Email your story and pictures of your ride to Paul at educationchair@kalamazoobicycleclub.org.

May is National Bike Month, so we will have these routes available to anyone for the month.  The Ride With GPS  app is needed to navigate on a mobile device, using the free version of the app is fine.

Click on the desired ride link below to access the Lucky 13 ride route.  Now get out there and ride solo, ride with your honey, or whoever you are cooped up with.
