2026! 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)

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. 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.**

Any chance someone will lead this group on the hottest day so far in 2026?    Suns out & guns out?

I am sure if people show that we can figure it out.

Good morning everyone.  Sending this out on behalf of Mr. Caplan who is out of town.  

There is a road closure that will impact our route this evening as we return on Collins road.  This road closure will require a left on Walton Road (this left is right before the short climb on Collins).  We will take Walton to a right hand turn on Mock Road which is a short section of gravel.  Mock Road will take us to Tumalo Reservoir road where we will turn right.  We will take Tumalo Reservoir Road to a left hand turn on to Tyler road which will put us back on the normal route back into town.
