Bend's Tuesday Night Rubber Mallet: Rolls out from Webcyclery - 3/24 at 5:15

[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. 

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 w gravel detour)

Due to road construction on Tumalo Reservoir Rd, there will be a 1 mile detour onto Mock Rd, which is gravel, but not bad on a road bike. 

Regroups at OB Reilly intersection, highway crossing, and top of west side of Twin Bridges.

3/31 - 5:15PM (Twin Bridges CW with bonus summit finish)

Regroups: Tyler&Tumalo Res, highway crossing, top of east side of Twin Bridges.

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. This is a group of friends getting together for a ride, this is not an official event. By showing up and participating, you take full responsibility for yourself and your actions and fully accept the risks of riding in a group and on open roads. I am not an official leader, and the ride is in no way affiliated with Webcyclery.**
