MPBC Ride Leaders post official club rides to this calendar on a weekly basis throughout the year. To sign up for a ride, please provide the leader your mobile number and emergency contact using the email and/or phone number listed in the posting. Riders must be MPBC club members to attend a posted or a Show & Go ride but we are allowing one free ride for potential members.
