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

Blueberries and Wine

June's ride is about pickin’ blueberries and samplin' wine. We’ll meet at Hodge's Vineyards and Winery and park the cars there. Then, ride a nice, 18-mile loop, stopping at Blueberry Havens to pick berries, then finishing at Hodge's, where we'll sample their wines and have a picnic lunch.

​Coronavirus
Residents completely vaccinated (updated May 13):
  • USA: 66%
  • Alabama: 51%
  • Lee County: 40%

On our rides we follow the recommendations and laws for riding during these coronavirus days. Until infections go down and vaccination rates get higher:
  • Keep six feet or more between riders (always a good idea for riding).
  • If one feels the urge to sneeze, cough, expectorate or flatulate we ask that one back off until that special moment has passed.
  • Bring a mask in case you will be unsocially close to others outside or inside buildings or cars.
  • ​Dining in groups is safer outdoors.
All good things to do in cycling adventures.

Here's an article from Adventure Cycling about cycling during these times. They interview a cyclist who is a retired Chief Medical Officer of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
