Training Opportunities:

For those who are just looking for a group to ride with, there are two rides that start in the Dover area. These rides are not part of the Delaware Senior Olympics. You ride at your own risk. There are no fees – just a group of cyclists who ride together. For detailed information, stop by the location and meet the other riders.

1. Usually Every Tuesday – 5 or 5:30pm – meet at the Wyoming Park (Wyoming, DE) parking lot – it is a small park so it should be easy to find the group.

2. Usually Every Saturday – 9am – meet at the Green Tree Shopping Center (Route 8 & Independence Blvd), Dover – around the Hardee’s parking lot.
