Everyone is welcome on rides facilitated by SPBC; membership is not required. Of course, we hope that after you ride with us you will want to join and help keep the club rolling!

Rides meet between the parking lots in front of North Shore Aquatic Center, 901 North Shore Dr. MAP. Check our Facebook group for the latest updates.
