Description

The Couch Park loop is used by both beginner and advanced bicyclists. The beginners have a safe, short loop to gradually improve fitness and comfort on their bicycles. Racers have a very nice practice criterium loop.

Beginners meet Thursday evenings at 6 p.m. at the parking lot near the playground. Wes Cash from Cooper's Bicycle Center will bring water, minor repair tools, and his bicycle. Ride the loop counterclockwise so you always make right turns and do not have to cross traffic. Ride as many or as few laps as you want. Keep score if you want!

Fast riders should watch for kids, walkers, slower bicyclists, and squirrels. Be polite!
