FLCC is organizing social weekend rides from May—September in 2025 that are largely targeted to intermediate riders with a pace of 12—13 mph. They’re intended to be moderately-paced rides providing exercise, but also an opportunity to meet other local riders and learn new routes. Rides will be 25—35 miles in length and get longer throughout the season. Riders should bring water and helmets, have bikes in good mechanical condition, and be comfortable with group rides on local roads.
Rides will be no-drop, regrouping at the tops of major hills and intersections when the group is spread out. Rides will often include a social stop which will be mentioned in the weekly ride announcement.
The rides will generally be scheduled for Saturday mornings, but rain dates may be Sunday mornings. We may also organize occasional “pop-up rides” on Sundays.
The details on specific rides, routes, and meeting locations will be announced each week through the FLCC Google Group. For more details, contact weekend ride coordinators Doug Dylla (ddylla2010@gmail.com) or Megan Powers (meganthom@gmail.com).

FLCC gravel rides focus on fun and adventure, exploring gravel roads and trails around Ithaca. A typical ride splits into two groups, one with a relaxed pace and one with a more moderate pace. Rides are no-drop and start at 6pm, weather-permitting. A typical ride is a loop of about 20 miles with about 2,000 feet of climbing. Early-season rides build up to this, while mid-season rides may be longer when the late sunset allows. Start location varies by week and will be announced, along with other details, earlier in the week of the ride on the flcc-gravel@googlegroups.com group. Cancellations will also be communicated via the group. You can sign up for the FLCC Gravel Google Group here.
