Group Rides

Novi Nights, Lakeshore Park, Tuesdays at 6:30 (rolling at 6:45)

Folklore has the “Novi Nights” group ride starting on a blisteringly cold snowy Tuesday evening in November 2002.

Since then, a hearty group of bikers has continued this tradition, meeting at the park each Tuesday evening at 6:30, weather permitting, for a 6:45 ride start. In the depths of winter the group may be small, perhaps only a few people on snowshoes. On hot summer nights, there may be 50 or more riders.

Please join us – this is the perfect beginner-friendly group ride, stopping at several points to regroup and usually with a designated sweeper to ensure no one is left behind. Libations following at the nearby Lakeview Grill. For all of us, there was a first group ride – make next Tuesday yours!

    Time heals all…

    I’m continually amazed at how fast the forest changes and grows. While we usually lament this fast growth as we’re battling face slappers and vines, it’s a real boon when healing abandoned trails. We just need to help it along… Back in 2009, we had a short problem area at Lakeshore, a section of trail…
