POP-UP sunday group rides

 

We’re switching things up!

The KBRA will be hosting pop-up group rides on Sundays depending on board member/volunteer availability. The location and time will change based on availability. Please check our social media channels or the event listing below to keep up-to-date!

These rides are laid back and open to tourists, locals, members and non-members of all riding abilities. We ask that any minors be accompanied by a guardian and that all riders who have not yet signed a KBRA liability waiver come early to do so.

Any bike, any skill, any age, any wheel size!
