Group Rides with Santan Shredders

Beautiful Scenery, Challenging Trails, and a Fun Community

Our group rides are the main reason that people join Santan Shredders. Whether it’s mountain biking, gravel riding, or a road bike group ride, cycling is more fun when you do it with friends.

Mountain Bike and Road Bike Group Rides Make You a Better Cyclist

Even with the right equipment, it can be challenging to find the motivation to get out and ride. At Santan Shredders, we schedule regular group events to encourage a sense of community and provide opportunities to improve your skills. Signing up for a mountain bike group also provides accountability for your exercise routine.

Our priorities are always safety and fun. We will match you with similarly-skilled riders so that you never feel left behind. We employ certified cycling guides who can demonstrate skills and offer tips that will help you improve. Whether it is a couple of hours or a full day of riding, we know you will have a great time!

Our Dedication to Safety

Santan Shredders provides certified group leaders experienced in guiding cycling group rides. We will provide tips and riding advice for an enjoyable trip. However, to keep things safe, we ask that every rider abides by our safety guidelines. We ask you to bring:

A Well-Functioning Bicycle: Make sure your bike is in good condition, or rent one from our team.
Helmet: This basic piece of safety equipment must fit properly.
Plenty of Water: We recommend at least 100 oz. for most trips.
Realistic Self-Expectations: Your fitness level and experience will determine your group. Be honest and stay healthy.
Food, Tools, and Maps: Depending on the length of the trip, you may want to bring extra equipment for self-care.
No Drop Riding: Our typical events are “no drop” rides. We avoid aggressive cycling and adjust the pace so that slower riders stay in the group.
