CycleNuts is an alternative cycle touring experience where seeing and socializing take emphasis over speed and (ugh!) sweat. Join along on bikeway touring adventures to destinations near and far. Pictures, merriment, and other tourist activities heartily encouraged.
The goal of CycleNuts is to encourage casual cyclists and cyclists interested in casual social cycling to tour together.
The vision of CycleNuts is to create a society of cyclists who ride at casual social speeds for the cause of fun, exercise, cycling awareness in the community, cycle-touring, and producing lots of good memories and smiles.
What To Expect - Casual social cycle touring with CycleNuts 50% downhill guarantee. Exercise is optional. Everybody finishes together. Nobody is dropped, abandoned, or left to fend for their self (unless they wish to be).
Allow plenty of time from your schedule for the nature of these tours: pacing with the slowest riders (average 11MPH or less), picture taking, looking at cool stuff along the way, eating and trail-side breaks. Helmets are not mandatory.
CycleNuts tours give preference to bikeways - bicycle trails and protected bicycle lanes. Routes may include bicycle trails, dedicated bicycle lanes on streets, bicycle ‘friendly’ streets, and at times of necessity, regular streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and dirt paths. Darkness may be experienced on evening or early morning rides.
SAG-free - CycleNuts tours are self-supported with only the slightest of guidance, including travel and over-night accommodations. SAG is not provided. Carpools and caravans are individual choices.
Emergency road support – if necessary – may be a creative, collective group effort. Or, you may need to fend for yourself. Be prepared with options. State in comments if interested in forming a carpool, caravan, or sharing overnight or travel accommodations.
Recommended Gear - A cycle (uni, bi, tri, tandem, E, recumbent, or cycle/trailer rig). Protective riding gear of your choice. Identification. Front and rear lighting. Communication device. Spare tube or patch kit. Water. Energy bar. Air pump and wrench kit. Cycle lock.
Funds for refreshment breaks and emergencies. Sun screen and insect repellent.
Recommended Preparation – Pre-check brakes, tire pressure, lights and rideability. Consider what you are wearing and what you may need for changing weather conditions such as heat, cold, rain, sleet, and/or snow during a riding event.
Yes – CycleNuts will offer cycling events in all four seasons – what else could be expected from CycleNuts?
