VeloMelo provides forums for cyclists of similar skill sets and interests to get together and collect adventures. Our local rides occur on a regular basis but vary by time of year. We encourage members to post group ride opportunities in addition to our core events.

Group Ride Schedule:


Saturday’s Wootton / K2 Cafe Ride

9:00 AM Start November - May

This diverse group ride meets every Saturday morning year-round, except when road conditions warrant cancellation or temps fall under 40 degrees.

Although the ride has a reputation for being highly competitive in the AA Group, a majority of the riders participate in what we now call our Adventure Group. This group explores the natural beauty of the western Montgomery County countryside. We ride at a brisk pace but prioritize comradely over hammering the hills. EVERY ride stops at K2 Cafe for a coffee break!

Routes always start at Thomas Wootton High School and vary in distance by time of year ranging from 40-65 miles.
