Month: April 2021

May is Bike Month and we are kicking things off with a bang! On May 1 we have two routes set as part of our bi-monthly road ride series. For the more ambitious riders there is a 42 mile route with 1700 feet of climbing. There will also be a 20 mile route with 600 feet of climbing for those looking for a more casual ride. Both will begin at the High School at 9:00am and follow the the same route for about 10 miles. We hope this will encourage more people to join us. As our routes increase in distance we will continue to provide a short route option for those that don’t have the time or inclination for the longer rides. The links to the rides for May 1st are here:

On Monday May 3 we will be having our first casual ride or “slow roll” of the year. We will be meeting at 7:00pm at Jolly Circle Bike Shop (80 W Center Street). This is a nice casual cruise through the city of Springville Utah on your favorite bicycle. So bring the kids, bring the whole family, and bring your neighbors too. BONUS: Free Jolly Circle t-shirt for those who attend!

Come ride with us!

On Thursday April 15 at 6:00pm we are having our monthly meeting at the Snelson PhotoColor Lab at 80 W. Center Street in Springville. We will be watching and participating via Zoom in the Springville Parks and Trails Master Plan Open House, and then talking about upcoming events and activities of the HCBA. Come join us!!

On Saturday April 17 at 10:00 we will be meeting at the front entrance to Springville High School and then heading out on a road ride. The route will take us out to west Provo and will be around 32 miles. (If that seems like too long for you, come out anyways–the out-and-back nature of the route mean there will be chances to take a break and then join the group on the way back.) Biking is more fun in a group so come out and ride with us!

We had a really nice ride in gorgeous weather, rolling through the streets and trails of Springville, Mapleton, and a bit of Spanish Fork. There were seven of us in the group and we easily passed two dozen or more other riders out there. We ended up riding exactly 25 miles at a comfortable average pace of 15.8 mph. We hope to see even more of you in two weeks for our next ride!
