🚨 Alright folks, daylight is getting shorter and fall is right around the corner!

That means the last Derby Thursday Night Gravel ride of the season will be TWO WEEKS from now — 9/24! 🍂🚲

And we’re going out with a little tradition… an Ice Cream Ride! 🍦 So make plans to come out and help us close out another great season together.

Year 3 will kick off again in April 2027! 🎉

But don’t fret—we’re not done riding yet! I’ll be putting together a few Saturday fall rides as long as the weather cooperates.

In the meantime, make plans to support the other great rides we have as they start up.

Thanks to everyone who has made another year of Derby THNG so much fun. It’s pretty awesome seeing how much this little group has grown. ❤️

See you next week or 9/24 for ice cream! 🍦🚲

‼️ We've all seen the heat warnings this week. In an effort to keep everyone safe, I am going to call it now. We will not have the ride this week.

If you do ride, please be careful - these temps are dangerous if not prepared.

🚨 ‼️ After a lot of thought and personal debate, we are canceling Derby THNG tonight. While I hate doing this , the risk is just too high around 5-6 pm with the heat and I don't want anyone to be in harms way.

We will meet next week!
