Kalamazoo Bicycle Club’s Wednesday Night Ride

  • Kal-Haven Trailhead parking lot on 10th St 4143 10th Street North Kalamazoo, MI, 49009 United States (map)

The KBC Wednesday Night Ride is a weekly group ride on country roads in NW Kalamazoo County varying from 20 to 45 miles.  Paces range from 15-17 mph average, to 19-21 mph average on two different routes, both somewhat hilly.

Sponsor: Kalamazoo Bicycle Club

Event website: kalamazoobicycleclub.org/rides/

Cost/Fees: No charge to join KBC rides. KBC membership includes newsletter, Ride with GPS, KBC club insurance and many other benefits.

Comments: Prospective members and new riders are welcome! Please visit to our website to familiarize yourself with rider expectations. Please let your ride leader know if this is your first time riding in a group, and plan to arrive early. Due to the pace and hills, this ride is more challenging than KBC’s Monday night ride. If you are not experienced riding in a group in these conditions, you might want to try riding for this pace and distance on hills before deciding which night is best for you.
