Fab ride schedule

Below are the rides we are offering. FAB encourages you to check back early and often for changes. If you are a member of FAB then we have your ride waiver on file. If you are not a member, no worries! You can still ride with us. We’ll just need you to sign a waiver before each ride you participate in. Our rides work this way, safety first followed very closely by fun! Come out and ride with us! If you have any questions, contact our Ride Director.

 

Please visit our website often.  Sometimes it will be necessary for us to change some things.  Other times we might add some things.  We’d hate for you to miss out on all the fun we’re planning!

 

All rides require helmets, routes to be provided on website and at start of ride where applicable.
