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!

​Coronavirus

Lee County, AL and Harris County, GA are currently at high coronavirus risk levels. Please protect yourself and others.
Residents completely vaccinated (updated May 6):
  • USA: 34%
  • Alabama: 26%
  • Lee County: 25%
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.
  • It's a good idea to carry a mask in case you will be unsocially close to others outside or inside buildings or cars.
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).
