The first ride of October!

I can't believe it's already October! You'd never know it by these high temps we're having. The mornings have been gorgeous, and what better way to spend it than on a bike. The trees are starting to change colors, and this week we're going to take a ride out along the Highline to check them out. This ride is just under 31 miles, and relatively flat. The Highline is gravel this far south, so if you're going on this ride, please make sure you're comfortable riding on gravel on your road bike, swap out tires, or bring a hybrid or mountain bike. This won't be a fast ride - we're out to enjoy the beauty of the fall.


For those who want to stick to the road, we'll also host an intermediate road ride.

Rides meet at 9:00am and leave at 9:30am. If you're pulling out a bike you haven't ridden in a while, take a minute to dust it off and check it over to make sure your tires and tubes are good, your chain is lubed, etc. If you need anything, arrive at the shop at 9am in order to get it and change it or have the mechanics help you out. Remember, group riders get a discount on Saturdays, too :)

Don't forget, we also have Sunday social rides now out of Tony's on Bowles. These rides are for anyone/everyone, so come on down for a relaxing ride and some conversation. Sunday rides also meet at 9am and leave at 9:30am.
