CBC Town Hall for “Casual” and First-time Riders
Wed Oct 29 @ 6:30 pm
Join us for an interactive conversation about how your CBC can function even better for its Casual (or “D”) paced members. Â This will also be of interest to riders who may be new to the area or to group cycling.
Some of the topics we’ll cover are:
—Â Ride organization and scheduling
— Getting acquainted with our local terrain
— Desired ride distance/pace/location
— Connecting with other members with common interests
Come meet your fellow cyclists, ask questions, share your ideas, and help CBC serve this great group of riders.
We will host a Zoom call on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at 6:30 PM. Â You can click here to join.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP at info@charlottesvillebicycleclub.org or in the comments below.
We hope to see you there and look forward to your input!
NOTE: We officially cancel rides only if we consider conditions to be unsafe (high winds, ice/snow, etc.). Otherwise rides take place whether or not people comment about attending. Each member should make their own decision about riding based on the forecast.
Important Reminder
Be sure to have the latest route (routes can change from time to time) on your phone or bike computer, and/or have a map or cue sheet.
Ride Classification
For details on how group rides are categorized, check out the Ride Classification guidelines.
Requirements For Riders
All riders are required to have a helmet; a taillight, Road ID and a rear-view mirror is strongly recommended. You are also expected to have adequate fluids and a road-worthy bicycle in good repair.  Many rides, but not all, will include the opportunity to stop at a store to replenish supplies.
You should be prepared to fix a flat tire and perform other minor repairs on the roadside.  If you are new to cycling and are not comfortable with these procedures, don’t let that stop you.  However, you might want to talk to a more experienced member before the ride so the group is prepared to help if necessary.
Safety On The Road
The club considers safety to be our very highest priority.  Please review the information on the Safety Page before you join us for a ride.
We hope that you will find this site helpful; your questions and comments are welcomed.
Scheduling
Start times are based on seasonal averages. Because of the inability to ensure everyone is informed of a last-minute change, scheduled rides will not change based on predicted weather and temperature. Also, club rides generally will not show as “canceled” on the calendar. All riders have their personal thresholds for temperature, wind, and moisture, and are expected to use their best judgment about whether to ride on a given day. CBC encourages all members to exercise caution. If in doubt, please use the comment section on the ride calendar page to communicate with other potentially interested riders.Â
