Explore the East Valley on Our Road Bike Group Rides

Gravel Bike Riding and Road Cycling for All Skill Levels

If you enjoy a smooth ride on the open road, sign up for one of our road bike group rides. Cycling group rides are a great way to make new friends while exploring the local landscape.

Cycling Group Rides Build Community

Whether it’s gravel riding or road cycling, the Santan Shreddars crew believes that it is more fun to ride as part of a community of passionate cyclists. A group of cyclists can support one another to meet their ride goals and try new challenges.

Our official rides all include a certified ride leader. Riding with a trained group leader will open your eyes to new skills that will improve your abilities. Our group leaders prioritize safety and fun, and they will always make certain that everyone is included and no rider is left behind.

Our focus is Always Safety and Fun

Since its founding in 2013, Santan Shredders has been one of the fastest-growing mountain bike groups in Arizona. We would love to have you participate! Our focus is always safety and fun, so we have a few expectations of our riders. For every ride, we ask you to bring:

Safe equipment: Your bike and helmet should be properly fitted and in good functioning condition.
Water: We suggest bringing at least 100 oz. for most rides.
Snacks: You need extra energy to sustain you on the East Valley roads.
Self-Awareness: An honest assessment of your abilities will help us place you in a group where you will thrive.
Attention: It is critical that you listen to your guides and pay attention to all instructions.
No Drop Rides: Our group rides are “no drop” events. This policy means we will adjust our pace to avoid losing any participants.
