Text Box: Ride and Events

Ride and Events: Each month we feature a monthly ride from surrounding area ride calendars. We encourage our tandem club members to come out and meet new faces and ride as a group. We hope we see you at the next ride!

Featured Ride of the Month

As a club, we also encourage members to post and lead rides. Please contact our ride coordinator, John Talani at jtalani@carolina.rr.com or 704-504-1875 if you would like to feature a ride during the month. If it's a last minute ride, still call and the "word" will get out.

Monthly ride calendar: Call a member, invite your friends, take your family or simply ask your Captain or Stoker to come out and ride with you from the selection of monthly rides featured.
