EVENT DETAILS
IMPORTANT UPDATE: For those who think riding at 1pm in August in Middle Tennessee's weather is insane, we've added an 8am Sunday ride. The meeting place for this ride will change each week, so please let Terry know if you would like to be added to the e-mail list to receive those updates. She can be reached at Terry@harpethbikes.com.
Team Green Adventures has partnered with Harpeth Bicycles to bring cycling events to a wider range of enthusiasts. We will be co-hosting a couple of organized rides per month both on and off-road and everyone is welcome to join us. This week, join us for a beginner friendly road ride around Franklin. Helmets are required.
All of these rides will be beginner friendly and led by an experienced cyclist. Less experienced cyclists are welcome to join us as we set out at an easy pace for a tour of some of the local roads.
When: Every Sunday at 1pm

ABOUT THE RIDE
Remember that feeling of fun, freedom and flying when you first learned to ride a bike? Join us at 1PM every Sunday afternoon at Harpeth Bicycles in Cool Springs and we'll help you reconnect with that kid. We will offer supported rides for the beginning cyclist and advanced beginners. Experienced cyclists will join you on the ride to answer questions and support your fun and safety. Sometimes Road Cycling can be intimidating - the language, the gears, the shoes that attach to the pedals...my gosh, the spandex! We'll help you navigate that stuff by offering some educational workshops to help you develop your knowledge, increase your confidence and enhance your safety on the road. We anticipate that you will also enjoy the camaraderie of others who are newly initiated...or getting back in touch with their inner cyclist.
Have questions or suggestions? Contact Terry@harpethbikes.com.
"Beginner's Luck" is just under 10 miles. This ride will allow folks to get used to riding, practice etiquette, and develop comfort with their gears, braking, riding in a paceline, etc.
"Main Road Loop" is about 18.5 miles and has a few rolling climbs with some traffic and other road conditions to challenge the rider. If we have all beginners, this ride will take over an hour. If we have some intermediate or advanced riders, it will be a recovery ride for them.
