Join this first field trip for rail-trail riders!
If you or a friend prefer not to ride on roads, try this… We will ride the High Bridge trail in Farmville, a finally crushed limestone trail that goes by a fantastic bridge. We plan to ride about 20 miles but you can choose to do more or less. We will end with a restaurant in Farmville, there are some votes for the caboose by the trail…
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.
For details on how group rides are categorized, check out the Ride Classification guidelines.
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.
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.
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
Two options, please post to our Facebook Group or contact us.

Hey everyone, I posted earlier that I was going to this ride, but now I’m not going to be able to the ride tomorrow. Hope you all have a wonderful ride. –Chet
See you another time. There are still 5 of us going (some didn’t sign up officially).
I posted earlier that I’d do the High Bridge ride, but plans have changed and I can’t be there. Sorry!
Sorry to miss you. Hope to see you another time!
