Weekly Roundup: 22-28

Swift Campout 2026 was a success! Thank you to everyone who came out. Recap coming later this week, for now enjoy some pics!

On to this weeks rides and events!

Thursday 06/25 - Dusk MTB Ride

Meet at 7pm at the Centennial Campus Middle School. We will meet at the trail head and do a loop. Each loop at Lake Raleigh Woods is about a mile long so there will be opportunities to collect riders and do multiple laps or potentially to leave after any loop, depending on the ability level and time available to individual riders on each ride. Next week we will meet at 7am for the dawn ride.

Friday 06/26 - Critical Mass

Critical Mass is a casual group ride held every last Friday of the month. We meet at the NC State Bell tower at 6:30pm and roll out at 7:00pm. The ride is meant to be a statement. The purpose is to promote bike presence on the streets, build community, and encourage awareness around everyday cycling. The pace is steady, the route is short, and riders of all experience levels are welcome. It’s a social ride meant to highlight the number of people who move through the city by bike and to create a safe, collective riding experience.

Saturday 06/27 - Small Business Pride Ride

To celebrate pride month we will be hosting a ride starting and ending at The Bike Library Cafe visiting 6 LGBTQ+ owned and supported businesses downtown!

1. Copperline Plants
2. Deco
3. Munjo Munjo
4. Pallbearer
5. Blackbird Books
6. Edge of Urge

We will make stops at each of these businesses. This will be a no drop ride, great for beginners! You can view the route on the Strava page.

Sunday 06/28 - The Long Shot Ride

The Long Shot ride is led by Micaela Fox and Thomas Weybrecht coffee lovers and casual riders. The ride is intended to be a casual, longer-distance group ride exploring great coffee beyond Raleigh. Designed for riders of all levels, it’s a low-pressure way to go a little farther, try new routes, and connect with others along the way. We roll at an easy pace, stick together, and always have a solid coffee stop waiting for us.
