Keep Moving Lazy Bones

The ride schedule will usually be tied to an  event external to HCH and subject to the timings of those events. Ride leaders will post rides on Let's Ride on an ad hoc basis; the list below includes events that require elements of both ride coordination and event management.  Easter Ride World Bicycle Day World Bicycle Day is celebrated every year on June 3rd.
