ARR Group Rides

Riding is safer and more fun with friends!

Get more (s)miles, progress faster, and learn the trails around Austin together with Austin Ridge Riders. Our ride program offers options all year long at multiple trail locations with dedicated leaders for each skill level to bring you up to speed or keep you there…

Sunday Group Rides

All mountain bikers are welcome to join our FREE weekly rides every Sunday morning in Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park, with an alternate location chosen for the first Sunday of each month. 

Riders break into groups based on ability. Rides are designed to be fun for all skill levels - from beginner to advanced - with dedicated ride leaders to show you the way and keep everything safe!

Rides are cancelled for wet weather. Please RSVP to the meetup event where we will post any updates. 

Ride Like A Girl

Our Ride Like A Girl Program (RLAG) hosts women-only rides that are focused on fun and skill development.

RLAG meets every Monday in the summer, unless it rains.

Riders break into small groups based on ability and hit the trail with experienced ride leaders. Rides are designed to be fun for ALL skill levels, from beginner to advanced!

Please note, these rides are for adults only. We encourage girls under 18 to join their local NICA program or a similar youth program.

Monthly Group Rides

Each month we pick a destination outside of our usual weekly ride venues and typically outside the city limits, from Dana Peak to Reimers Ranch and everywhere in between. These rides occur on Saturday and we bring a post ride lunch so we ask that everyone who plans to attend please RSVP.
