Join us on a casual bike ride around the streets of Burlington! 

Meet at 6 PM at Local Motion's Trailside Center at 1 Steele St. Bring your bike, we'll bring the tunes and the volunteers to keep us all riding safe and together.

We're kickin' it not so far back this time, just after Y2K dropped and life was chill. Dress in your 2000s best if you want to impress: Ed Hardy, low-rise jeans, jelly bracelets... or just jam out to the sick CDs we burnt for this ride.

Check out the route

Interested in helping the ride roll smoothly? Sign up to volunteer!
(Volunteers hours can go towards Member Worker hours for City Market. Ride your bike and get discounted groceries!!)

Richard’s Ride has something for everyone: from short family rides, to mountain bike trail rides, to road rides from 5 to 70 miles. The goal of this event is to bring the community together to celebrate an enthusiasm for cycling and all that it adds to our lives. You don’t have to regularly cycle to feel included in this event, we welcome those who are interested in trying something new and also provide something fun and challenging for those who consider themselves to be an avid cyclist! The first annual Richard’s Ride was held in May 2016 starting at Cochran’s Ski Area in Richmond Vermont and has quickly become a spring tradition. We ask you to come join us to bring together old friends and new friends for smiles, camaraderie, and cycling.
