Rides for Saturday the 27th
Hey Group Riders,
This Saturday we're hosting 2 rides.
Mike and Dan will take out the beginner riders out Bear Creek and south on the Platte to Hudson Gardens and back. This route is about 23 miles and is relatively flat.
Brad and Will take the intermediate and advanced routes out on a 41 1/2 mile ride around the area: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/148075153
This route goes along the road and bike paths with some rollers. The group can split up into a fast group and an intermediate group following the same route so those riders wanting more miles at a 15-18mph pace can do so without the 20+ pace.
As usual, we meet at 9am and ride at 9:30am.

Ride
Heppy Friday Group Riders!
Hope you've all enjoyed watching the USA PCC as much as we have - it's been an exciting race!
This weekend we've got a couple of different options for you.
Donna will take out another beginners group for a 15-20 mile. While we understand that some of you are apprehensive about riding on the street, the location of our shop is such that it does require some on road riding. By following safe riding practices (such as staying single file on the street, making your intentions know by signaling and lane position, and making eye contact with drivers), street riding can be safe and fun. We just need to remember that "Share the Road" goes both ways, and street riding is a natural part of cycling.
Dan will take out the intermediate riders on a 30ish ride counter clockwise on the 470 trail with a detour up en Caryl and down Deer Creek, through Chatfield and up the Platte. This is always a fun ride with some fast descents.
Brad will take the advanced riders on a 48ish mile ride down south through Chatfield to Sedalia and back. This is a new one for you all!
For those of you looking for a little adventure, our Boulder store will lead a group ride out for an easy 2 hour ride then stop to watch the USA PCC pass through and hang out. This should be a fun time if you're up for it!
All rides meet at 9am and ride out at 9:30am. Bring fluids, a spare tube and sunscreen and see you all in the morning.

Hey Group Riders!
Hope you're all staying cool today - temps are predicted to be in the 90s tomorrow, so be sure to hydrate well throughout today and bring lots of fluids to the ride tomorrow.

Let's see what everyone says tomorrow (or email me back with your suggestions!).
As usual, we meet at 9am and ride at 9:30am.

Hey there group riders! It seems like we skipped right over spring and went straight to summer - temps for tomorrow are looking to be in the 80s, so hydrate well tonight and in the morning, and bring lots to drink for our rides.
The intermediate group will head out Belleview to 470, up Ken Caryl and down Deer Creek through Chatfield and around for a ride of about 30 miles.
The advanced group will head out to Golden by going up the Platte to Clear Creek and across, then back down Rooney Road and 470 - this ride is about 60-65 miles.
Both meet at 9am and leave at 9:30am. Bring a spare tube, snacks, and sunscreen, and we'll see you in the morning!

Red Rocks and High Grade tomorrow!
Group riders,
The weather is looking great for tomorrow with temps in the 70s, and we'll be taking advantage of it!
We've got two rides planned for you, an intermediate and an advanced. Jenn and Kevin will take the intermediate riders out to Red Rocks. This is always a fun ride up Rooney Road and Dinosaur Ridge before heading into Red Rocks to climb the Amphitheatre. I'm excited to see what are speed is, as we were totally killing it last weekend into Chatfield - we've got some great speed for this time of year, and were going along at a pace that we usually have by the middle of summer. Let's keep it up with this climbing ride.
Justin will take the advanced riders out Wadsworth to Deer Creek and up to Turkey Creek, City View and High Grade. We've had some requests for this ride, so here ya go!
Both rides meet at 9am and ride out at 9:30am. Make sure you bring a spare tube, plenty of liquids, and sunscreen. Also, for your enjoyment, and the enjoyment of the group, please be sure you're able to handle the distance and/or climbs of the ride you choose to go on. The rides are no drop, but you do have to be able to complete the ride. We've got a great group of riders and are always excited to have new people join us! If you're looking for a fun ride, and some great folks to get to know, please come join us. See you all at 9am!

Two rides for April 7th
Hello Group Riders!
We've got two great rides planned for you tomorrow.
The recreational riders will head out to REI and back. This is always a nice 30+ mile ride with a pit stop at REI to refuel and get some coffee or whatever you would like.
In honor of Paris Roubaix weekend, the advanced riders will head out to Golden via Belleview and Rooney road. They'll go up Lookout and down the Hwy 40 side but will turn off and descend down Grapevine which is a well maintained dirt road to Bear Creek canyon and will return to the shop via Bear Creek to 470.
The weather is looking gorgeous, and warm, so hydrate before and bring fluids and snacks with you, especially for the advanced ride. Don't forget a spare tube and sunscreen, and we'll see you all at 9am!

Hope to see you all there to take advantage of this opportunity!

Too much snow!
Well, with the dumping we've gotten over the last 24 hours, there won't be a ride tomorrow. Hopefully it will be warm enough to melt some of this off for us to ride next Saturday.
Don't forget, Wednesday nights we have indoor cycling, now at 5:30pm. Be sure to take advantage of that - $6 for drop in, or get a punch card for $30/6 classes.

Indoor cycling for Saturday the 27th!
Hi there Group Riders!
Tomorrow we will host indoor cycling instead of an outdoor ride. I know some of you are saying "But, Jenn, it barely snowed at all! And it all melted this afternoon!" I know, I know, but it's really cold out, with overnight temps even lower which means all that melted snow will be a sheet of ice at 9:30am when we ride. Because we care about you all, and want you to have a safe and fun ride, we're bringing it indoors so that we can all still get a good workout in, socialize, and eat burritos, but not freeze or slip.
As usual, we will start the class at 9:30am. Arrive about 15 mins early to set your bike up on the trainer and get situated. Saturdays are FREE as usual!
Also, our Wednesday evening indoor cycling classes will now be starting at 5:30pm. Come down and join Rob for a great, mid-week workout! Cost is $6 for drop in, or get a punch card of 6 classes for $30 (that's one FREE!).
Hope to see you tomorrow morning, and bring a towel and lots of fluids!

Hey group riders. This weekend we've got two great rides planned for you. Both meet at 9am and leave at 9:30am, so be sure to arrive in time to check in and what not, and be ready to ride at 9:30.
Tom will be taking the recreational riders out to Chatfield and back, a nice ride of about 30 miles.

Happy 2012!
What gorgeous weather we're having - It's hard to believe it's the 5th of January! I hope you've been able to take advantage of it while we have it...I rode Tuesday and Today and it was great.
This Saturday, we're planning for 2 rides:
Beginner ride to REI and back (about 30 miles)
Intermediate ride to Dinosaur Ridge and Red Rocks (about 26 miles)
Both rides meet at 9am and roll out at 9:30am. The weather is really up in the air right now. Dress in layers, as it will indeed be cold if we're lucky enough to ride outside. If we can't we'll host indoor cycling, so bring a towel as it's a heck of a workout that will get you sweating (and why not start the year off with a good calorie burn? :) )
Hope you had a great holiday season, and wishing you a very happy and healthy 2012!
See you Saturday.
