Welcome!! Come and ride with a great group of people.

A guest rider means that you can ride with us. However, if you intend to ride with the Sumter Landing Bicycle Club more than once, then you will have to join the club. This is due to insurance and liability issues.

Club rides in groups vary in speeds from 10 - 20+ mph.  Ride Levels
