Uncle Leo's Intergalactic Wednesday at Lincoln Woods
Social Ride – Intermediate Pace
We'll cover about 6–9 miles with approximately 100 feet of climbing per mile. Expect some small drops and rollers (all with go-arounds). We can split into faster or slower groups if needed—just speak up!
Parking Info:
Park at the main park office on Manchester Print Works Road. Additional parking is available beyond the bridge, but all vehicles must be outside the gate before dark.
Register Here!
Burlingame Mellow Pace Social Ride
Burlingame Mellow Pace Social Ride
Burlingame has been the local riders’ secret stash ever since Woody Hill gained popularity nearly a decade ago. Now’s your chance to see what these trails have been hiding.
We'll mostly stick to the Vin Gormley loop, a flowy ride with some technical sections and long bridges. But don’t worry—every bike comes with a free hiker! If you need to walk a section, no problem.
The pace will be mellow, but be prepared for around 10 miles—it’s pretty much mandatory to loop around the pond. This is a great option for a recovery ride or if you're just looking to explore somewhere new.
Location:
Vin Gormley Trailhead Parking
28 Sanctuary Road #24 Charlestown, RI 02813
Monday at Woody Hill - Intermediate pace
Intermediate Paced Tour of Woody Hill!

Arcadia Spring Clean Up
Please sign up here: ARCADIA SPRING CLEAN UP
Every winter, storms leave Arcadia’s trails covered with fallen trees and debris, making hiking and biking difficult. To restore the trails, RINEMBA is teaming up with Rhody Rovers and other trail user groups for a community cleanup effort.
We'll be using hand tools to clear blockages, while chainsaws will only be operated by verified sawyers. Chainsaw work must be done in teams of two or more, with at least one sawyer and one helper. Safety gear, including chaps and hearing protection, is strongly encouraged.
If you are interested in operating a chainsaw for this event, please contact the event organizers from RINEMBA or Rhody Rovers in advance.
Event registraiton/Homebase is Midway Lot on 165 but you may find it easier to drive to remote locations for better access to work areas.
Please sign up in the category/time you wish to particiapte.
This cleanup not only improves trail conditions but also strengthens partnerships among different user groups for future collaboration.
Event Schedule:
9:00 AM – Chainsaw teams & helpers (on foot, bike, or moto) start work. Chainsaw work must be done in teams of two. Work routes will be assigned to each team.
10:00 AM – Hand tool crews (on foot, bike, or moto) begin. We have a few hand saws and rakes available, but bring your preferred tools if you have them. Work areas
10:00 Moto Trash Cleanup – Two known trash dumps in northern Arcadia could use moto assistance for removal. We'll provide trash bags.
Post-Cleanup BBQ 🍔🔥
At 12:30 PM back at Midway Lot, we’ll fire up the grill to celebrate a job well done! Burgers will be provided, but feel free to bring a side dish to share. (friendly reminder that alcohol is not allowed on state property).
Come lend a hand in one of the best natural areas in RI, enjoy the outdoors, and connect with fellow trail usders. See you there!
