Tandem Adventurers UPDATE

Even rainy days and scorching temps can't dampen the spirit of our Tandem Adventurers program!

Despite the weather, riders have been out training together, welcoming new solo riders and tandem captains, and building lasting connections.

Beyond the physical benefits, cycling offers a fantastic full-body workout; this program embodies something even greater: the shared joy of movement and inclusion.

Whether meeting at the Center before riding to Forest Park Forever or gathering directly in the park, Tandem Adventurers continues to grow in popularity as more riders and volunteers discover the impact of this unique program!
