Then you’ve come to the right place!

We are a group of women in Bend, Oregon who share the love of cycling.

During the riding season (May through October), we have weekly rides. We have 2 categories of rides for both road biking and mountain biking:

• Conversational:  The conversational pace is just that – a pace where you can carry on a conversation while getting  an aerobic ride.  The group varies, but is mostly considered an intermediate group.  You are able to ride for an hour or more on varying, non-technical terrains.  The actual speed depends on the group that day.  Groups always wait at trail ends or road turns. 
• Easy Riders:  The Easy Rider group is slower paced than conversational, but not beginner. The rides are technically easy to moderate in difficulty. To receive notifications of Easy Riders upcoming rides and events, please email us: easyriders@bendbellacyclists.org.

The Conversational ride alternates each weekend between road and mountain biking. Mountain bike rides are the first and third Saturdays of each month. Road rides are the second and fourth Sundays of each month.  Easy Riders, both mountain and road, ride at various times, typically mid-week, with occasional weekend rides. Always check the calendar for current ride date and time.

Current membership, a helmet and signed waiver form are required to join our rides. All rides meet at Pine Mountain Sports (map), unless otherwise noted. Bellas park behind Pine Mountain Sports, on 15th Street (map) and carpool to the trailhead when necessary.

During the winter months (November through April) there are no scheduled weekly rides. We do, however, have regular club meetings and organize x-country skiing, snowshoeing, pot-luck dinners, slideshows, lectures and other activities.
