ABOUT THE CLUB
The Solano Cycling Club is a Fairfield, California bike club set up for leisurely, recreational biking for the entire family. We offer short and long rides throughout Solano County the surrounding areas. We have bike rides in Fairfield, Vacaville, Davis, Woodland, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, and many other cities. No one gets left behind, there is always a sweep rider for the slower riders. On longer rides we stop to regroup several times. Non-members are invited to attend rides and meetings to get a feel for the club, without obligation. Join us for a couple bike rides to get a feel for the Solano Cycling Club.
