Kalamazoo Bicycle Club’s "Lucky 13" Solo Rides

  • Texas Drive Park 6603 Texas Drive Kalamazoo, MI 49009 United States (map)

The Kalamazoo Bicycle Club is excited to announce its “Lucky 13 KBC Solo Rides” for your cycling pleasure. They offer a great solo riding substitute for its groups rides during Bike Week, and a fun way to share your experience with others. These rides all have long histories as favorite, regular KBC Monday night, Wednesday night, and weekend rides. Some are easier, some harder and hillier. Some are paved, some have gravel mixed in. If you find a route that you like, send us you story and pictures of your ride. Tell about the route, wind and rain, flora and fauna, and dogs. We might even pick some of the stories to put in our club Pedal Press newsletter, and give out some surprise prizes for the best ones! Click https://www.kalamazoobicycleclub.org/the-lucky-13-kbc-solo-rides/ to access the Lucky 13. Now get out there and ride solo, ride with your honey, or whoever you are cooped up with.
