THREE Rides for June 9th

Hello Group Riders!

Tomorrow we have three, yes, THREE rides planned for you! They will head out the same way towards Golden and split off as we go.

Jenn will lead out the beginner/recreational riders. We'll take a couple laps around Bear Creek, maybe do Dino Ridge and heading back. This will be maybe 15-20 miles total.

Scott will continue on into Golden with the intermediate group. Plan on about 30 miles.

Justin will lead out the advanced riders up Lookout. You guys know this ride!

It's been warm, and tomorrow is no exception. Bring lots of fluids, hydrate well, use sunscreen, and bring a spare tube. We all meet at 9am and ride at 9:30am.

See you there!

Ride(s) for Saturday the 2nd

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.
We know some of you are doing E-Rock on Sunday, so we'll decide where we're riding in the morning. Justin and I will both be there to ride, and we can do either one or two rides. Think about how you're feeling and where you might want to ride, and let us know - flat and easy, something moderate, or go hard! We can stay together for one, or split up and do one of each. 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.
See ya there!
Jenn

Two rides planned for Saturday the 5th

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.

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!
