The MHBC Bikes Plus Greenline Ride meets Sunday afternoons at the Penal Farm Parking Lot on the corner of State Rd and Mullins Station Road across the street from the Shelby County Clerks Office. Current meeting time is 4 pm. We are a C, D pace ride. Minimum ride length is 12 miles max 42. We explore the Shelby Farms Greenline, Wolf River Greenway, the Hamp Line, Overton Park and the trails of Shelby Farms.

This is a no-drop ride through Germantown & Collierville, Nice ride with a few slightly hilly sections and some enjoyable flat sections.

The ride will focus on safe riding practices for the new rider and for the rider who doesn't feel comfortable riding in more advanced or faster group rides. The ride will begin and end at Cameron-Brown Park in Germantown and will have two 5 mile loops. Two groups available, one group will average 12-14 mph and a slower group averaging around 10 mph. Both groups will ride the same route with the faster group leaving first so if a rider can't keep the pace they can slow and join the slower group.

Vintage: a period of origin or manufacture. Dust off your old vintage bike and join us for a voyage back in time with a totally fun social cruise around the streets of the burbs on your old school ride. Journey with others who share a passion for classic steel and enjoy wearing tennis shoes and Bermuda shorts while cruising on their stem shifters. Bicycles 20 years old or older are preferred on this ride and must be in good mechanical and riding condition. Taillights strongly suggested and preferred. Traditional flat pedals only with toe clips and straps if needed.

Ride will resume April 4

Unique early B ride for working folks who want to sweat before leaving for work. There is no specific starting or ending point for this ride: It is a hop on hop off. Ride leader(s) start and end at Shady Grove and Yates beginning at 5:25AM. We pick up folks at River View and Shady Grove 5:30, Kirby and Humphreys 5:35, and Perkins at Wolf River and Germantown Road 5:45, and then off we all go. We go 17-20 mph on flats. We stretch but regroup 5-6 times. We don't "drop" anybody, but since everyone has to go to work, we don't all hang around for major mechanicals...sorry. End of ride average is usually 16+.

If you are just starting group rides and can ride at a speed of 16-18 mph for 22 miles, then this is your ride! We try not to leave anyone behind. The advanced group will set a quicker pace with a ride speed of 18-20 mph. We also offer an upper / elite group that will have a ride speed of 22 mph. All groups will have designated regroup / catch-up points to stay together.

You're invited to stay afterwards at The Mellow Mushroom Restaurant to choose from a variety of pizzas, salads, subs, and 30-40 kinds of draft beer.

The Shelby Forest ride is a low-key weekday ride through scenic countryside. We rotate between three routes for variety, each varying from 20-25 miles.  Two of the routes have hills at the beginning of the ride, and one route is designated as our "flat" route.   This is a no-drop ride and we take a short rest break along the way.  Helmets are mandatory and front and rear lights are highly recommended.   This ride is seasonal and will begin Tuesday, April 21st and go through Tuesday, September 29th.
