Sunday "NEXT DAY" ride

Location: The Bike Crossing, 192 Old Town Crossing, Ridgeland, MS 39157

Meetup at 6:45am, wheels down at 7:00am.

If you're in the mood for a Sunday spin, then come out and join us for a ride on the north end of the Natchez Trace Parkway.

This will be a 28 mile ride with varying paces. Typically the North Trace offers an easy 18-20 mph range with a few rolling hills on Yandel and Old Canton Road.

The plan is to keep the groups together, HOWEVER, If you plan to go slower or faster than the pace mentioned, please download the route and bring a friend. We know a lot of you need to hit the highway, so any breaks will be short and sweet.

Remember we’re riding on open roads, so make sure to obey the rules of the road. Remember that front and rear lights are required.
