The Block Shop & The City of
Lancaster present a police escorted community ride.
We call it The
LanCoaster BLVD Bike Experience and they take place
on the second Wednesday night
of every month from May until October.
The ride will start and finish on
Lancaster BLVD (from City Hall on 44933 Fern Ave).
The ride will roll promptly at
7pm and we recommend everyone show up at least a half hour early and
experience
Lancaster BLVD before and after the ride!
There are numerous restaurants
and cafes to dine and hang out before and after the ride.
The LanCoaster BLVD Bike
Experience is a fun ride! We start on Lancaster BLVD and tour
around Lancaster with police motor escorts.
The ride lasts two hours and covers
15 miles.
The LanCoaster BLVD Bike
Experience is a very social bike ride and not a race.
It is
designed to be fun and enjoyable while riding in the safety of
your community.
What we need from you is
participation. It is amazing to have so much support from our
Mayor (R. Rex Parris) and Lancaster City Council.
We have the opportunity to create
cycling awareness to our entire community with hopes of attracting
others to share our experiences.
The larger the cycling community
the more ability we have to expand.
Come out and share the experience
with a few hundred of our cycling friends!
The LanCoaster BLVD Bike Experience is designed as a no drop
ride meaning that if you have a problem the entire group stops and
waits. We advise all riders to show up with their bikes in good
working order (meaning tuned up) so as to know disrupt the
progress of the group. We also ask every rider to carry a spare
tube, inflation device and tools in order to handle problems as
the arise. The most common problem is flat tires. Even if you
cannot change a flat tire yourself there will be someone in the
group to assist you quickly and efficiently. It is not the groups
responsibility to provide you with a spare tube so be prepared. If
you elect not to bring a tube - bring a cell phone so you can
contact someone for a ride home.
We ask that everyone who shows up for the ride to be experienced
in the ability to ride 20 miles. The group is slow and social but
it is not designed to be your Everest. If the furthest you have
ridden a bike is 5 miles than this is probably not the ride you
are looking for. The wind can make sections seem miserable for a
few minutes then we turn and the ride becomes effortless - that is
the AV... We do the best we can with what we've got. All in all
CYCOLOGY - The Lancaster Ride is the most fun cycling event in the
valley. Come join us it promises to be a good time!!!
