Before you join

Come prepared to ride with us.

CSD is for road cyclists ready to meet the ride that is published. We are friendly, but this is a group ride—not a private guided tour.

Safety in practice

Supported, not shuttled.

The group depends on every rider making safe decisions. The Revolution Cycles support vehicle helps with visibility and practical ride-ending problems; it is backup for the group, not a taxi service.
