Join us for our Long Road Ride!

August 5, 2023 at 9 AM from our shop at 35 Elm Street!

Let’s get out of the city and take over the backroads of our surrounding towns! We will be riding about 30 to 60 miles to different locations, stopping for coffee, snacks or ice cream along the way. The average pace will be around 13-15 mph but we will adjust depending on the ability of riders who show up. No-drop: No one gets left behind. The route will be posted on our calendar on the website ahead of time. Contact Flo at florian.tsch@gmail.com for questions.

Gathering Tomorrow!

Hey y’all!

Come along and enjoy a social evening of food, drinks, and conversation on Wednesday, June 28th, from 3 to 8 PM at 840 Candia Road, Manchester, NH. There will be a silent auction, door prizes, and probably even a third thing!

The weather’s not likely to be perfect, but that just means we’ll be cozy inside!

Hope to see y’all there!

Join us for our Second Family, Accessibility, All Welcome Ride!

Join us on Saturday, June 24th, at 10 AM at 35 Elm Street for our first Family/Accessibility/All Welcome Ride of the year!

If you can’t attend, not to worry! There are two more! Check the calendar on the Events page for more information!

The plan is to leave from The Collective and head to the Piscataquog Trail via Sundial Ave and pick up any folks that don’t want to ride on the street – for those skipping the shop, we’ll meet at the trailhead at Sundail and Dunbar. We will ride about 45 min out and 45 min back depending on how the group feels. We may have a contingent that does only 20 min each way.

This ride is for families, those who might not feel comfortable on surface roads, and anyone looking to take it easy. While these rides will officially start at QC Bike Collective at 10am, they will stop at a trailhead to meet riders who prefer to stay on-trail. From the trailhead, rides will be out-and-back with a total distance of 3-5mi at <10mph. Spontaneous stops to look at wildlife, have snacks, and adjust trailer occupants may be included. Trailhead locations for these rides along with trailhead meetup times will be posted on QC Bike social media and available via email at kyle@qcbike.org.

For more information and any day of changes, visit the Events page.
