Concord Thursday Night Rides
Family-friendly Thursday evening community ride through Concord and surrounds. No-drop cruise down the Iron Horse Trail and neighborhoods. All ages welcome.
The vibe
Family fun on the Iron Horse
The Iron Horse Trail is one of the East Bay’s best assets for family cycling, and the Concord Thursday Night Rides makes weekly use of it. The group assembles at Pleasant Hill BART — meetup at 5:30 PM, roll at 6 PM — and heads out through Concord neighborhoods and the trail system at a pace that keeps kids and all-ages riders comfortable. No-drop, always.
Routes vary week to week, which keeps the regular crowd engaged without making any individual ride feel repetitive. The format works equally well for families with kids on bikes, newer riders finding their footing in group riding, and regular cyclists who want a social midweek option without the effort of a faster group.
