Our third annual NOT GOBA series of rides will be held from June 20th to June 26th.

Please be aware that start times may change based on weather conditions. If we get an early rainout, the order of rides may also change so keep an eye on the ride calendar.

Today: The 40 mile ride for 2* riders will start with me at Kipton Community Park at 8:45 a.m. For the 30 mile option starting at Wakeman Community Park be ready by 9:10 a.m. to join the Kipton 2* riders. I will stop to sign you in. Ride the NCIT to lunch in Norwalk at the Freight House Tavern. Bring a bike lock. Please be aware that there is a 2.8 mile stretch of unpaved crushed limestone trail going into, and out of, Norwalk. There is a way around the unpaved section but you would be adding a few miles to the route and you would be on you own. 

After the ride, regardless of where you started from, please join us for a stop at the Oberlin Bike Shop to support your LBS and then at Haven Brewing for some post NOT GOBA refreshments.
