The Valley Spokesmen are a welcoming group of cyclists that encourage riders of all levels to join our group rides. There are a variety of rides for different levels of riding. Some of our rides are marked on the ride calendar as Beginner Friendly, while others are marked Advanced; choose a ride at a level that you feel comfortable with. Whenever in a group, it is extra important to ride in a consistent and predictable manner and it is important to remember that your riding affects others around you and safety is everyone's top concern.
