Münster isn’t just famous for its bikes—it lives them. If you’ve spent more than a weekend here, chances are you’ve seen a peloton or two sweeping past the Promenade, chasing sunsets on cobbled roads, or diving into the Baumberge hills. Whether you’re chasing watts, looking for a social spin, or just want to earn that post-ride pastry, there’s a ride here for you.

Here’s our curated list of weekly group rides in Münster—some fast, some chill, all powered by community. Clip in and come along.

1. Gruppetto (hosted by MoFa)

• Meeting Point: Café Gasoline
• Start Time: Mondays at 18:30 (switches to 18:00 early in the season during daylight saving time)
• Distance: ~80 km
• Type: Drop Ride
• Pace: 37–42 km/h
• Vibe: It starts chill with a neutral 20 km, but after Tillbeck, attacks are fair game. This is a newer race-focused ride, popular among younger riders and racers. Bring legs—and maybe a second bidon.

2. Lohmann Ride

• Meeting Point: Opposite the former Gaststätte Lohmann
• Start Time: Saturday 11:00, Sunday 10:00
• Distance: 70-80 km (depends on day and summer or winter time)
• Type: Drop Ride
• Pace: Saturday: 35–38 km/h, Sunday: 37–40+ km/h
• Vibe: A Münster classic since the 1950s. The first 20 km are neutralized, but especially on Sundays, it gets spicy fast. Saturdays are a bit more relaxed and often skip the fireworks. Think “local legend” energy.

3. Ackermann

• Meeting Point: Gaststätte Ackermann
• Start Time: Tuesdays & Thursdays at 17:30
• Distance: ~65–75 km
• Type: Fast Group Ride
• Pace: 33–37 km/h

4. Sattelclub Münster

5. Expresso

• Meeting Point: Aaseeterrassen
• Start Time: Wednesdays at 18:00
