Rides for Saturday, July 16th - Recreational and Advanced

What crazy monsoon weather we're having! I was fortunate enough to get a ride in yesterday evening after work, and missed the storm by a good 2 minutes! Then the down pour started.....

Saturday is looking to be dry, and fortunately, the mornings have been nice if not down right hot! This weekend, we'll host a recreational ride out to REI and back, a nice 34 miler that's relatively flat. This is a no-drop ride, which means we wait for everyone to catchup at the intersections, and try to stay together. This is meant to be a fun, casual ride for anyone and everyone!

The advanced group will head out to Golden via 470 trail and climb Lookout Mountain before returning to the shop. This ride is not for the faint of heart. The distance is long,the pace fast, and the climbs are decent.

Both rides leave promptly at 9:30am. Arrive a bit early to check in, look over your bike, and to pickup any tubes or snacks you may need for the ride. There's a pump inside the front of the store for those who need to check their tire pressure before heading out. If you need anything else, ask one of our staff members - they're there to help whether you need your saddle adjusted or help picking out some summer gloves or tubes.

For everyone's enjoyment, please select a ride that matches your ability. Nothing ruins what should be a fun time by getting into something you aren't ready for, out "in the middle of nowhere", and having to call for a pick-up. If you aren't sure which ride you should do, ask one of your group riders - be honest with us and yourself, and you'll have a great ride!

I'm looking forward to morning ride!! See you all Saturday :)
