What's a JoyRide? It's a perfect way to get in some training, have some laughs, and find great ways to boost your fundraising! Think of each JoyRide as a mini version of Ride day. You'll meet cool people, build confidence riding in a group, and feel the love on wheels. They're also a great way to convince a friend to do the ride! It's a fun, relaxed environment that anyone is welcome to join - no registration necessary.
Riders of all levels are welcome! ALL of the HCRA JoyRides are considered a “No Drop.” This means that no rider is left behind, and you can count on an experienced rider ready nearby to help and support you, as needed. Some rides have SAG which means a support vehicle stays with the riders on the route in case help is needed. Additionally, we provide digital route maps for each ride via our RidewithGPS account.
Below are the details for our two 2019 Fall JoyRides! We'll have more information about our 2020 Ride season JoyRides soon!
