Eagle Ridge Golf Course Community in Gilroy - Cycling

Eagle Ridge Golf Course Community Activities - Cycling buddies

The gated community in Eagle Ridge Golf Course is active in all type of activities. I love to cycle here in our beautiful surroundings; the hills, reservoirs, and wineries. There are always a number of cyclists on the road so please, share the road!

I get on my Klein bike a few times a week and meet up with friends and neighbors. There are a number of different routes all around Gilroy and Morgan Hill and there is something for every fitness level.

Earlier this summer I started a cycling group geared to beginner cyclists here in Eagle Ridge and we meet weekly on Wednesdays. It is an easy, flat, on smooth black top ride with a stop at the coffee shop at First Street Coffee in Gilroy. People who felt left out before are now joining our little cycling group and are getting stronger every week.

I cycle with a great group of people from the community of Eagle Ridge but also with people from Morgan Hill and other parts of Gilroy.

This morning I played hooky (that almost never happens) to go biking with friends instead of attending a great webinar on marketing and networking. It was a beautiful morning and we don't know how many we have left so I decided to go for the fun, work will wait and I can catch up later today but before my scheduled bike ride with another cycling group.

Anyone is welcome to join me on any of these rides.
