The Hiawatha Bicycling Club is a recreational riding club. Every month during the season we provide about 60 rides to appeal to a wide variety of rider skills and desires. We have slow, medium and fast rides, rides from 15 to 100 miles in length and rides over every type of terrain. The Club is social in nature in that we have many rides built around casual riding, sight-seeing, meals, charitable activities, etc. You will find our rides throughout the 11-county metropolitan area, in other states and even in other countries. In other words, we have your kind of ride!
