Newcomers/Alumni Bicycling Group is for those individuals who like to get exercise while enjoying the scenery around New Bern. We feature 'no drop' rides, which means we don't leave anyone behind! We have been working to design options that allow more serious bikers to enjoy a longer distance at a faster pace, but also provide a choice for more leisurely riders to go at a more comfortable pace. We take breaks as needed. Routes will vary, allowing participants the chance to see different neighborhoods and the surrounding countryside
The activity leader checks the weather and weighs other factors as to when an event can be scheduled. Due to these factors, events are scheduled with short lead times (within 1 to 2 weeks). So have your helmet ready!
"Weekly Evening Ride" every Monday night thru the spring, summer and fall months that will start at 6pm each Monday. The designated ride location will be announced each week.
Please email group leaders for upcoming schedule or to be added to activity email list.

The AGN and NewComers of New Bern Bike Club had a successful outing this week. Completing 23 miles round trip from Minnesott Beach to Oriental. A few of the riders took advantage of the ferry rides which serve Cherry Branch and Minnesott Beach. The day was elevated with a wonderful and delightfully tasty lunch at Toucan’s waterfront restaurant in Oriental.
