Not a Ride … an Adventure!

The Second Sunday Ride is all about having an adventure by bicycle. Each month our rides explore scenic, historic, cultural, and other interesting places or events.
Most rides are within an hour's drive of Auburn, Alabama.
No rides are too long or fast. We tailor them to fit about anyone. Join us!

Our Next Adventure

Yoholo Micco Trail
Sunday, August 8

The Yoholo Micco Trail traverses grassy meadows, mixed woodlands, past a (hidden) waterfall, across a former railroad bridge skirting the shoreline of Lake Eufaula, through a residential section of the historic City of Eufaula, and Old Creek Town Park. This rail trail was named in honor of Yoholo, the Creek Chief of Old Eufaula Town. (Micco is the Muscogean [Creek] word for chief.)

This delightful trail has been developed by the community and is very popular for biking, walking, jogging, and bird watching. It connects downtown Eufaula with neighborhoods, schools, and recreation facilities. A great example of what can be done by small and large communities.
