Weekly Social Group Rides

The Exeter Escape is a B paced ride. 18-20mph on flat sections. There are 3 sprint sections if you feel like stretching your legs a little. We will regroup after each sprint section. The ride is normally 44-50 miles. There are 3 rest stops; Hinton Park, Caycee & Highway 72 and the Collierville Town Square (They all have restrooms). Ride goes on all year. Watch the Facebook page for weather related cancellations.

The Café Cycle is a friendly ride that averages 12-16 mph and tries to avoid dropping riders. This self-supported ride makes a rest stop so the participants can enjoy a cup of coffee (coffee drinking not required) and socialize with other biking enthusiasts. After the break, the riders sometimes separate into two groups, one which may ride at faster pace and follow a longer route back to the Super-Lo.

This ride goes year-'round, and runs at 8am in the warm months (usually around April - October) and 9am in the colder months (roughly October - April). The best way to find out the specifics is our Facebook page because we make the switch pretty much by group consensus.

**This ride is not for beginners It has an intermediate pace 17-19 mph

Are you a saint who went to church on Sunday morning? Or are you a sinner who partied too much and just woke up on Sunday afternoon? Either way, this is the ride for you. We try to be aware of riders with different abilities and pace preferences - we will try to not really drop anyone, but sometimes we fail at this endeavor. Varied routes, mostly urban. Lots of bumps, holes, tracks and glass. Orange Mound, Windermere, Frayser, Shelby Farms, Pornos and Prisons Route, North Mississippi, Beale, Summer Avenue, trolley tracks, Hooters, Stax, Elmwood Hospital. Flats can happen - be prepared. Want a tame, sedate, bucolic, suburban nature ride? This isn't it. Continues all year long.

The MHBC Bikes Plus Wolf River Ride meets Sunday afternoons at the Penal Farm Parking Lot on the corner of State Rd and Mullins Station Road across the street from the Shelby County Clerks Office.  We are a C pace ride. Minimum ride length is 20 miles max 42. We explore the Shelby Farms Greenline, Wolf River Blvd and Greenway, the Hamp Line, Overton Park and the trails of Shelby Farms.

The Cameron-Brown Ride focuses on building technical skills for riders interested in increasing their pace. The route is mostly flat, with the
exception of the Big House Loop (Fox Hill/Spring Hollow).

Unique early A/B ride for working folks who want to sweat before leaving for work. We roll out from Campbell Clinic at 5:45 AM. We ride out together and break into 2 speed groups.  We don't tightly group but will regroup often. The A group will do the "big house loop 2x and the B group will do it once.  The A's eventually catch the B's around Kirby and Poplar.  We don't "drop" anybody, but since everyone has to go to work, we can't all hang around for major mechanicals...sorry. Slower group end-of-ride average is ~ 16.5 – 18 mph. Fast group is 19-20. Lights are required for this ride. 

Winter Season Note: Start time is 5:45AM. We don't have a official "season." When temps get below mid-40s, we'll stop. When temps get above mid 40s we'll start back.

If you are just starting group rides and can ride at a speed of 16-18 mph for 22 miles, then this is your ride! We try not to leave anyone behind. The advanced group will set a quicker pace with a ride speed of 18-20 mph. We also offer an upper / elite group that will have a ride speed of 22 mph. All groups will have designated regroup / catch-up points to stay together.

Check Facebook for updates and starting time changes.

You're invited to stay afterwards at The Mellow Mushroom Restaurant to choose from a variety of pizzas, salads, subs, and 30-40 kinds of draft beer.

Ladies group that rides the Wolf River Trails.  You should be fairly comfortable riding a bike on dirt, but will help you conquer obstacles and difficult sections.  No drop ride!  Trail speed ranges from 7 to 12 miles per hour depending on who attends.  We will not leave you in the woods!

We prefer a helmet light AND a bar light. Even if it looks like the ride will be in daylight, a good cycling light IS required in case of emergency. It's not fun being stuck on the trail after dark!

Ride will be cancelled during rain or when trails are muddy.

The ride follows several scenic routes south of Collierville. This is a no drop ride and has A, B and C level ride groups.

The offering of all ride groups typically will run from the daylight savings time change in March to the time change in the fall or until it gets too dark to ride safely. 

Ride groups and leaders can change week to week – sometimes not all paces will have a leader – especially during the winter months. Check Facebook on Wednesdays for the latest updates before you roll out.

DiD is still around, now as a MHBC group ride.  Mike and/or Terry will be leading a beginners/slow group every week, but groups of all experience levels will be there. We will start out at the parking lot to the Germantown Trail head of the Wolf River Trails.  The route will vary each week depending on the trail conditions.  We will go out and back on the Yellow and Blue trails regrouping at the Levees and other landmarks.  Once back at the lot the ride ends but it is typical for folks to hang out with some refreshing beverages.
