2026 Start! Bend's Tuesday Night Rubber Mallet: Rolls out from Webcyclery - 3/24

[David Caplan]

The official start to the Rubber Mallet for 2026 will roll out at 5:15PM on 3/24 from Webcyclery at 157 NW Franklin Ave. I'm away this week (3/17), but the weather looks like it will be nice, so if someone else wants to step up and take charge for 3/17, please do!

Come join us for a fun and spirited group ride. We emphasize safety, good on-road cycling manners, and riding cooperatively. We will have 2-3 regroupings, but this is NOT a "no drop" ride. Average speed is 19-20mph. If you feel the need to go harder, I suggest you join in with the Tuesday Night Hammerfest. 

3/24 - 5:15PM: (Twin Bridges CCW)

I'm not sure who started the "Recurring Rubber Mallet" on Strava, but it wasn't me and I will not be responsible for the information posted there. I will post weekly here and on the OBRA group.

**The Rubber Mallet is not an organized or sponsored ride. It is just a group of friendly riders meeting for a fun group ride. I am not an official leader, and the ride is in no way affiliated with Webcyclery. I take no legal responsibility for others' behavior or accidents on the ride.**
