Pleasanton Pedalers — TriValley Group Rides
Multi-pace weekly rides in Pleasanton for all skill levels. The Social Ride is no-drop and e-bike friendly Thursdays. Tuesday Trainer rides push harder at 15 mph.
The vibe
All levels, nobody left behind
The Pleasanton Pedalers have built a genuinely inclusive program by running two distinct ride formats under one roof. Thursday mornings bring the Social Ride — no-drop, e-bike friendly, meeting at 8:30–9:00 AM at the Pleasanton Senior Center. It’s the kind of group where newer riders and riders returning after a break actually feel welcome rather than just tolerated. The Tuesday Trainer ride runs faster (around 15 mph, 30–40 miles with 1,000–1,500 ft of climbing) for riders who want something more structured.
The Tri-Valley riding — Livermore Valley wine country, the hills above Sunol, Castlewood Canyon — rewards people willing to get out there. Routes from Pleasanton access terrain that Bay Area cyclists often overlook in favor of Marin or the Santa Cruz Mountains, and the crowds are lighter for it.
No SAG support on rides, so come prepared with a spare tube and the skills to change a flat. Helmets required. The group organizes trips outside the area as well — domestically and occasionally internationally — for members who want a larger travel community.
