There is not an organized ride on Sunday.

This is normally a weekend trip so you will need to make your overnight arrangements. Camping is available in the City Park (tents, campers, RV’s).

There are also several B&B’s and some hotels if you prefer. Please call ahead as these fill up fast and most require a two night stay. This is a great ride – the food is awesome – and you get to ride the trails with some great biking friends!
