The Rubber Mallet will be rolling out at 5:30PM from the new Webcyclery location at 157 NW Franklin Ave. (former Old Stone Church, corner Franklin and Harriman). It's starting to get cooler and darker earlier, so bring lights for safety and clothes for warmth on the descent.

Come join us for a fun and spirited group ride. We emphasize safety, good on-road cycling manners, and learning how to ride cooperatively. We will have 2-3 regroupings.

The Rubber Mallet alternates between three different routes, one flat(ish), one rolling, and one climbing/descending.

This week (9/11) we we will be climbing up to the Sunriver cut-off for the final time this year.

The following week (9/18) we will be riding Twin Bridges in the clockwise direction, with the bonus climb up Archie Briggs, left on Mt Washington and right on Summit.

9/25 we will ride the SE Bend/China Hat route clockwise.

We may keep it going, if there's enough rider interest with a counter-clockwise Twin Bridges on 10/2.

Let's ride!
