Where to Find the Davis Bike Club Ride Calendar and This Week's Rides
Updated
The Davis Bike Club homepage is the starting point for both: it lists This Week's Group Rides and links to the full Ride Calendar from the same section. Use the homepage for a quick look at what's coming up in the next few days, and the full calendar when you need details on a specific ride, route, or date.
What the Homepage Shows
The "Join our Group Rides" section states that the club has regular rides nearly every day of the week. Rides are often split into two options that meet up at a social or coffee stop:
- A faster / farther ride
- A slower / shorter route
The homepage then presents This Week's Group Rides with a link to the full Ride Calendar for more information on each ride.
Before You Show Up
A few conditions apply to anyone joining a DBC group ride, and they're worth checking before your first one:
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Non-member trial | Non-members may ride with DBC for one ride; after that, joining the club is required to continue |
| Helmet | Required |
| Riding conduct | Participants must ride legally and safely |
| Liability | Taking part in a DBC ride releases DBC from liability; by riding, you acknowledge you've read and understood this |
| Cancellations | Rides are subject to cancellation for weather — rain, heat, wind, air quality — so use your own judgment about what feels safe |
Practical Tips for Using the Calendar
- Check close to the ride date. Because weather can cancel rides, confirm the ride is still on shortly before you plan to attend.
- Match the route to your level. The fast/long and slow/short pairing means you can pick the group that fits your pace; both typically regroup at the social or coffee stop.
- Read the individual ride entry. The calendar is where each ride's specifics live — the homepage only gives the weekly overview.
Related Resources on the Site
The homepage's News and Announcements section also points to material useful to newer riders, including guidance on maintaining safe following distances on casual club rides (a 2–3 foot gap between your front wheel and the rear wheel ahead for paceline riders) and links for reporting hazardous road conditions. If you're looking for organized rides beyond the club's regular schedule, the site also lists regional bike event calendars.
