Wichita City Loop - This is a PAVED path ride around Wichita. The route varies depending on the weather and conditions of various areas. Road bikes are acceptable, but not really advised.
Basically, it comes down to your comfort with riding through debris on sidewalks and the side of the road. Also, despite the fact it is a "Bike Path" there are places that will rattle your teeth. Depending on conditions, we may ride across gravel and rail road tracks etc. We do cross some grassy areas as well.
Distance: You can drop in anywhere you like on the loop. Normally, a West Group starts at Tyler and 21st and meets up with an East group an hour later at Webb and K96. (see map below) You may cut out at any time, the map below shows two traditional loops.
Speed: Ride at your own speed. The group averages about 15mph but if the group is big enough, sometimes it splits into different paced groups.
Dates vary. Watch BikeKansas for ride announcements. More often than not, this is a Sunday ride starting at 11am at the West side meeting place; however, you need to tune in to the Yahoo group to be sure.. or you can initiate your own at any time by sending a note to the group.
If you plan to join the group, it's a good idea to let us know through the email list. Tell us where you plan to meet up so we can watch for you.
