Some of the Regular (and Less Regular) Group Rides
B-Team Rides
The B-Team is the most stable and mature in terms of group rides. The B-Team has been at it for over a decade now. They often host earlier morning rides on the weekends from either Plein Air or the Yocona Community Center. Rides are generally 25-35 miles in length.
These rides are not competitive, racey rides. This is group of folks that enjoys riding together. So if you have a power meter, you might want to keep looking. If not, check them out. Unless you’re Tom.
Group sizes range from 5 to 15 strong.
You can find out what they’re up to by joining the Oxford B-team GroupMe cycling chat group.
Pop Tuesday
This semi-spicy 20-mile ride meets every Tuesday evening at Pat Lamar Park during daylight savings (generally March/April to October). Riders meet at the picnic area in front of the restrooms. The group departs at 5:30PM sharp (the start time also moves up as the days get shorter). The route includes a few Strava segments, along with two places where the group will stop and regroup. Celebrate after the ride with treats back at the park!
Reminders:
This is a group ride, not an organized event.
Ride at your own risk.
Helmet required. No riding TT bars while in the group. No earbuds please!
Check Facebook or GroupMe for the most current information.
Thursday Social Ride
This laid back ride meets every Thursday evening at MTrade Park during daylight savings (generally March/April to October). Riders meet in front of the concession stand/restrooms by the soccer fields. The group departs at 5:30PM sharp (the start time also moves up as the days get shorter). Sometimes folks head to Circle and Square Brewery after the ride!
Route is typically ~17 miles with a shorter 9 mile option. This is a great ride for beginners or people who don’t have experience riding in groups.

North Mississippi Gravel Rides
Not officially an Oxford group, but sometimes they ride in Oxford (or Water Valley, Ashland, Potts Camp & Pontotoc). Check out North Mississippi Gravel Rides on Facebook and GroupMe for regular weekend rides in and around North MS.
Wimpy Guy Ride
The Wimpy Guy Ride is the best ride of the year so far, every year, guaranteed! It’s an informal, therefore free, ride.
Head on over to the events section of the site to learn more about the Wimpy Guy Ride.
Group size can range anywhere from 4 to 10, with folks happily meeting us at the woods or only doing the road portion. You be you.
