Recreation Riders

Come out for a bike ride with us on over 100 annual rides and enjoy the benefits of group riding. You'll be glad you signed on for both the fun and fitness.

​

Chilkoot Velo offers recreational riders a wide variety of paces and distances. Maybe you want to ride at a conversational pace and focus on the social aspects of riding or perhaps you want to do a training ride at a hard pace. We have a ride for you!

You are also invited to join any race team rides knowing that they are typically faster “drop rides”, and they expect riders to be able to repair their own bikes.
