Summer Solstice Bike Packing Overnighter
Ayeee Year #3 of the summer solstice bike packing trip! This year we are changing it up and heading over to a new campsite right off the Neuse River near Clayton. The route will be mostly paved on greenway with some occasional road crossings. The campsite does have running water and a bathroom! This is a self supported ride. So that means you must bring your bike fully loaded with your own camping gear. We will host a Q&A session on 6/14 at 10 at the GGC Container where you can ask all the questions. The cost of the trip will be $10 to cover the campsite reservation. Look out on our website and Instagram for a link or pay day of!

Dusk MTB Ride with GGC & TORC
This is a TORC and Greenway Gear Collective partnership ride that travels to the trails at Lake Raleigh Woods!
The Greenway Gear Collective, which operates out of the shipping container on Lake Raleigh, will lead rides for all skill levels with an emphasis on entry level mountain biking and skill building. Each loop at Lake Raleigh Woods is about a mile long so there will be opportunities to collect riders and do multiple laps or potentially to leave after any loop, depending on the ability level and time available to individual riders on each ride.
Dawn rides begin at 7 AM and Dusk rides begin at 7 PM.
Parking is available at Centennial Campus Middle School (in the corner of the lot as far from the building as possible).
Rides start from adjacent trailhead kiosk.
Helmets are required.
Please sign the 2026 season ride waiver (you only need to do this once per year).

We met at the Harris Teeter parking lot at the Village district. This ride is about 23 miles, 16-18mph, moderately paced road ride.

Critical Mass
Critical Mass is a fun, casual group ride (typically 6-10 miles) that brings cyclists together to reclaim the streets and make a statement about the need for safer, more bike-friendly roads. It’s not a race—it’s about visibility, community, and reminding drivers that bikes belong! Whether you ride daily or just dusted off your wheels, join us for a slow roll through the city and help create space for cyclists on busy roads. 🚲✨

Live Music @ TBL ft. Tanner Hunt
Blending the storytelling roots of ’90s country/folk with a modern edge, Tanner Hunt writes songs that feel lived-in, honest, and a little hard to shake.
Raised on songs that say exactly what people are thinking but don’t always know how to say, her music leans into the messy side of love, the heartbreak you didn’t see coming, words you wish you said sooner, and the hope that keeps you trying again anyway.
Her debut single, “It Don’t Work Like That” now streaming everywhere, with more music on the way this year!
Hope to see you there! Doors open at 7pm
