Local Ride Calendar

This weekly ride schedule includes Woodlands-area rides led by local bike organizations and bike shops.

We have several active group road rides in the Woodlands area, including shop rides, club rides, and small groups looking for more cyclists.

Many of these rides are posted on Chasing Watts. Chasing Watts is a web page and a smart phone app – it has no advertising and it charges no fees. With a free Chasing Watts account, you simply search the ride calendar for area rides. You can RSVP and look at the list of other cyclists. You can download the route in multiple formats. You can (and should) check in for updates, as ride times can be changed or even cancelled for reasons such as inclement weather, special events, etc.

This overview of local rides is provided by BTWC Board Member and avid road rider John Zgourides. The following group rides occur regularly (as of December 2023) and many of the weekly rides listed below are listed each week on Chasing Watts. These rides are subject to cancellations and time changes (please confirm the details beforehand). Your mileage may vary, as they say: reach out to the sponsoring shops and organizations to confirm whether meeting points, times, and other details.
