Group Rides

GORBA has many group rides in the evenings through the week and on weekends.

GORBA has replaced Teampages and is using a Google Calendar to post our rides. We suggest you subscribe to the calendar and add it to your own calendar program. You can also setup email notifications specific to the Group Ride Calendar. Just browse to the GORBAGROUPRIDES calendar settings, and turn on ‘Create’ and ‘Cancel’ notifications.
