We're just days away from the first scheduled TBN rides of 2015, even though there's still snow on the side of many roads and salty puddles from the grubby, melting snow and ice. The Wednesday Wheelie riders kick things off on March 25 at 10am, and the Sunday Tourist rides will start just days after that, weather permitting. Check the cycling section of the website for details of all the ride programs. You do not have to sign up for rides, simply show up with your membership card.
