From humble beginnings, the group has added official team jerseys this past year. Just like professional road biking teams, the club is a traveling advertisement for local merchants. We have had some great support from the community, Knowlton said. The riders travel anywhere from 30 to 100 miles. We really leave it up to the individual rider, Knowlton said.
Some guys just ride for an hour and have to leave.
Others stay for the whole ride. Siefkes said the group starts riding as soon as the roads are clear in the spring and will keep riding until the snow falls in the winter. Siefkes said the group has started riding as early as Feb. 20 and have ridden into December. If you see a group of riders wearing the same jerseys traveling the local roads, it could be the Silver Cyclers. We travel to Faribault, Northfield, New Prague, Jordan, Siefkes said.
