Well, sad to say, but the official season for riding with the group is over for this year. Check out the Photos page to see the latest pictures taken by our most excellent volunteer photographer, Scott B.
I will start planning the full schedule for 2026 sometime in March and the first official ride for next year will happen in April, weather permitting, of course.
Well, folks, this will be our last ride for this year, so why not come out and enjoy the weather while you can? We will ride on Sunday October 19, 2025 – a loop around Highlands Ranch on concrete bike paths and quiet streets. All bikes are welcome!
We’ll stop off at the HR Farmer’s Market in Town Center for a snack and a break.
About 8 1/2 miles. 585 ft of elevation gain.
This will be our second-to-last ride for this year, so come on out and enjoy some fun cycling in Highlands Ranch. Our ride will be on Sunday October 5, 2025 – a loop around Highlands Ranch on some gravel paths (first 1/3) and quiet streets (last 2/3).
We usually say all bikes are welcome, but with the route covering some gravel this time, it might be best to bring your mountain or gravel bikes & save your skinny tire road bikes for another ride, though it’s up to you, of course.

Highlands Ranch Social Cycle is for casual, social bike rides in Highlands Ranch. I have been riding with Littleton Social Cycle for more than a year and I want to bring the same good energy and friendly vibe into the Ranch.
Rides will be slow, so everyone can join us, and casual. No matter what type of cyclist you are, you can hang with us and we will love to see you! The aim is to make sure these rides stay safe, so if you do join us, please remember these guidelines:
