Introduction
Many people have been coming into the shop looking for a group to ride with or wanting to know what the local rides are. We have complied a list of rides for the West LA area. Please take note of the type of ride it is (length and difficulty). If you have not ridden in a group before please contact us and we will try and arrange a skill clinic to teach people how to ride in a group. It is a skill that must be learned before you head out on any of these group rides. Also read our web page on Riding with the Pack. If you have a ride that is not listed or want to start one please  mike@veloworx.com

Veloworx Racing
If you are interested in riding with the team email me mike@veloworx.com . The route may be decided when we all meet or may have been discussed by the team on-line prior to departing. The team ride will usually be moderate to hard and some where between 45mi to 70mi. We usually head up the coast but you never know.  If you are looking for a great group to ride with drop me a line. Come on, you'll like it!!!
