Thank you to the 55 cyclists who joined us on the 2024 Ride with Pride, and also to our wonderful intersection wranglers (Ellen, Phoebe, Alex, Jason, Jim, Jack) and our mechanic-sweepers (Chris and Dwight)! Watch our YouTube Short:
Please register online ahead of time (to help us estimate group size) for the free and fun West Hartford Pride group bike ride on Sunday June 2nd 2024, led by Grand Marshals Tracey Wilson & Beth Bye, co-sponsored by The Health Collective, BiCi Co community bike shop, and Bike West Hartford.
Meet up at 12 noon at BiCiCo West, 616 New Park Ave, West Hartford. Show up early if you would like BiCiCo staff to make any small adjustments to your bike. After brief introductions and a safety check, we roll out by 12:15pm. (In the event of heavy rain, we may delay our meetup to 4pm on the same day.)
OR meet us around 12:30pm at Norfeldt Park (north side of Park Road) for a family-friendly portion of the ride on a 2-mile section of the Trout Brook Trail.
End around 1:30pm with the option to buy food and drinks at The GastroPark, 637 New Park Ave (across from BiCiCo West).
Our group bike ride is designed to be fun and open to all skill levels, rolling at a friendly pace of 10-12 mph — even slower during the family-friendly section of the ride — with no one left behind.
Bring any type of bicycle in good condition, a bike helmet, water bottle, and money if you wish to buy food or drinks at the end.
Explore our UPDATED 9-mile bike route, which includes a mix of separated bike paths, roads with bike lanes, and roads without bike lanes.
