Wheels 2 Meals Rides

Southern Tier Bicycle Club - offering recreational group rides in Central NY since 1969!

Wheels to Meals (W2M) weekday rides

Wheels to Meals (W2M) rides are offered during the weekday, typically on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The distances usually range from 20 to 40 miles, and the rides are not speed rated - our riders move at their own pace.

We have riders of all abilities and we try to accommodate everyone who wants to ride with us.  Some of our riders really get out and pound the bikes and often get in additional miles and additional hills.  Others move along at a “social” pace.  We make every attempt to never leave a rider behind and we have a group of experienced riders that rotate to “bring up the rear” and make sure no one gets lost or left behind with a breakdown.  We have riders who will assist with flat tires and minor mechanical repairs.  

Most of the group members are retirees - and in the summer professors and teachers join us - and we have many who ride with the group well into their 80’s.  As the name implies, the one common theme of our rides is the lunch stop.  W2Ms provides physical exercise, good conversation, and social interaction.   

If you are available for mid-week day time rides, give W2M a try!

The W2M rides are announced via the STBC’s googlegroup e-mail listserv.

  Ride Database


The following link provides access to a database listing and describing a large number of ride routes typically taken by the Wheels to Meals group.  The rides are broken out by county and can be selected based on starting point / destination.  It provides information such as ride distance, terrain, climb and grade, along with driving directions to the starting location.

In the past 9 years, our W2M cyclists have traveled a collective distance of 208,000 miles - nearly to the moon.   A 'moon-landing' is anticipated in 2014!

Editor's note: The moon landing did occur-along NY-434 a couple miles East of Owego. All returned safely to the starting point that day. A picture of the group that was present that fateful day is to be found below.

Welcome! Ride with us!
