NBW maps by geographic area

Narragansett Bay Wheelmen
Ride maps sorted by geographic region in our riding area

See Map of NBW riding area
In the following list our riding area has been divided into 4 quadrants (NW, NE, SW, SE), and maps are listed alphabetically by the start location. Our schedulers rotate rides around these 4 quadrants. The designations are fuzzy, of course, along the axes, so if you feel a ride has been categorized in the wrong quadrant (or have updates/corrections to contribute) we welcome your email to: maps[at]nbwclub.org

Disclaimer: These maps may not reflect current road conditions or the arrowed rides. As always, you ride at your own risk. These maps are subject to CHANGE. We try to update them before a scheduled ride, so always check back here closer to the ride date for the most recent map revision - especially if you are the arrower!
* Maps marked with an asterisk indicate rides that have not been scheduled in at least 7 years; these old maps need scouting for road changes before riding.
