Ride Locater: There is a guide to the most frequent start locations on our website – www.dbtc.org. It provides the information you need to use Map Quest to make a map to the starting location.

Maps for Planning a Route: At www.dbtc.org is a library of maps for your use in planning a route. Take a look under the ROUTE MAP LIBRARY tab. You can browse thru the maps then download the map with the route you like.

Be Ready To Ride: DBTC Ride Leaders and members are NOT bike mechanics. Before showing up for a ride, check you tubes and tires. Fix flats in advance of start time. Check your brakes and shifters, and, if any part of your bike needs maintenance, take it to an authorized mechanic. A complete tune up once a year is recommended. Your ride is only as safe and enjoyable as the condition of your bike.
