DETAILS

It's an enhanced Flatter Than Flat Dike Road Ramble!

Hate hills? This is the ride for you! Join us for our flattest, most car-free ride on the calendar. We'll be rambling along the scenic dike roads of Woodland, where you'll find nothing but smooth, level pavement and minimal traffic.

The pace will be determined by the group, so it's a great option for riders of all levels. If you want to log some extra miles, feel free to ride multiple loops and explore the dead ends—you can easily turn this into a 35-to-40-mile ride!

This is your chance to enjoy a relaxing, easygoing ride without the stress of hills or heavy traffic. We're not all fast, but we're always flat!
