Indio Tamale Festival

50 Miles Mostly flat

Meet: 8:00 AM

Ride-Out: 8:30 AM

Rain Cancels

Meet at Townie Bagel at 8 am, ride out at 8:30 (the 30th Annual Tamale Festival opens at 10 am). This is one of our first “tempo” rides, meaning we’re going to leave Townie and head down valley at a “quicker” pace. 25 miles down, 25 back. Bring some cash to pay for your tasty, sharable tamales and funnel cakes! Do not leave your bikes unattended at any time. Be careful on the return, since we’ll be on the 111 through Cat City. And don’t forget the Palm Springs Holiday Parade is in the evening downtown PS starting at 5:30 pm – nothing cycling-related, just an opportunity to kick off your season with some fun & friends.

All skill levels are welcome! If any ride is too much, we will work with you on making sure you have alternatives to the entire route. You will have a great bike ride. That’s a win! And remember, safety is critical. We will be following all bicycling laws and regulations as well as COVID regulations.!

GPS/TCX files available here or on the Roadrunner FB or Strava pages (members only).
