Our Group Riding Plan

Join us for this morning scenic and low traffic bike ride, starting and finishing at the Blue Eyed Daisy Bake Shop in the charming town of Serenbe. Our plan is to cycle the 50 mile route of beautiful winding roads in the country - with several up and down hills!

We will ride at a two wheel moderate pedal pace (Not too fast, not too slow) and enjoy the winding rolling hills.

This is NOT a flat greenway or Silver Comet ride, or speed race to see who can finish first. We will plan to stay together as a group, stopping every few miles at each turn to re-group & re-energize with a few gulps of water or Gatorade.

- Start & Finish Location -

Blue Eyed Daisy Bake Shop

- Start & Meeting Time -

7:45 AM

- Optional -

After our AOC event ride is completed, we will drop by the park across from the Blue Eyed Daisy Bake Shop and have lunch. Plz bring a sandwich & beverage!
