It’s that time again! It’s nice outside, so let’s ride! Below is our tentative schedule for this year’s group rides. More detailed and up-to-date information can be found on the Events page calendar and on our Strava page. Hope to see ya!

General Info:

All ride information (including departure location) and any other updates will be posted on our Events page and communicated through our Strava group – Join Queen City Bike Collective to stay up to date!

Community Trail Rides:

Get off the roads and onto the trails after work! Meet at the start of the Rockingham Recreation Trail (271 Mammoth Rd) every Wednesday at 5:45pm for a ride on the unpaved rail trails and single/double track trails connected to Manchester. Anyone wanting to bike to/from downtown is welcome to depart at 5:15 PM  from Queen City Bicycle Collective  (35 Elm St.) to bike to the trailhead. This ride will consist of 10-15 miles of rail trail, fire roads, biking trails, and dirt roads. Any hybrid or mountain bike will work for this ride and we will adjust the route depending on the riders who show up. There will be an option to grab some food and drinks near the end of the ride. All abilities are welcome to come and try out some trail riding! Contact Elyza at elyzaagosta@gmail.com for questions.

Longer Road/Gravel Rides:

Every two weeks, we’ll mix it up with a longer group ride on our local roads. Discover the best roads, hills, trails and scenery surrounding our city on this casual, no-drop ride. The rides will range from 15 to 50 miles in length and include coffee stops at some of the best local coffee shops. The exact route will be posted on Strava the week before, including the meeting place and start time, so stay tuned!

While these rides may be a bit more challenging due to their length, we commit to providing an inclusive environment for riders of all abilities. The pace of each ride is set by the abilities of the riders who join and we take plenty of breaks to refuel and catch a breath.
