About Us

The Quivira Park Group Ride is a moderate to fast paced ride that runs from May - October on Saturday mornings. We try to cruise at 15 - 18 MPH and can break up into two groups if we have different paced riders. There are usually between 5-20 riders and we start from the Quivira Park Parking Lot at 08:00 AM Sharp. See the specific rides as sometimes the day and time varies. Please Note: The 8:00 AM start time for 2010 is a change from the 7:00 AM start time we used in previous years.

Quivira Park in Overland Park, Kansas is easy to find - as it is on the left just south of 119th Street on Quivira Road. You can also go to Google Maps to obtain a detailed map with directions. Each of the ride maps also shows Quivira Park as that is where we start and end each ride. There is plenty of free parking with restroom facilities. See the list below for a schedule of our rides which is updated often. Most rides are 25 - 45 miles.

If you want to become a regular Quivira Park Bike Group rider, the ride postings are done through VeloCal.org. Please click on the VeloCal.org link and first register as a user. This is very easy. Next join the Quivira Park Bike Group. You will then receive automatic reminders of our rides direct to your e-mail address. This is very important as sometimes rides change due to weather or conditions. We are also on Facebook and Twitter. See the links to both sites on the left.

The Quivira Park Bike Group abides by all Johnson County Bicycle Club rules including the requirement of wearing a helmet and obeying all traffic regulations. We are also a very friendly group of riders and will not leave any rider stranded.

There is usually one SAG stop on each ride that will include restroom facilities and water. Please bring your own food.

Ron led the ride today and reported that there were 13 riders for the Holiday Drive Route.
Ron reported that the the group split into two segments both on the way to Charles J. Stump Park for the SAG stop and on the way back to Quivira Park.  Weather was hot and humid.




One rider slipped on his pedals at the bottom of the hill on 55th street but was able to hang on without going down.  Ron also reported that he received several compliments after the ride regarding the route as many liked the challenges of the several hills.

Quivira Park Bike Group Ride 8 took the Lake Olathe Route and the ride leader was Ron Kneib.  He reported that there were 12 riders with temperatures in the low to mid 80's with wind at 13 MPH and gusts up to 20 MPH.

The group stayed together at the beginning then broke up into three groups.
