There's something for everyone at Bicycle Village.
Saturday we'll do a Social/Recreational No Drop Group Ride - these rides are perfect for the first time group rider, those who are new to cycling, or riders looking for a nice, casual ride. We'll take a easy pace, and stop for some coffee along the way to chat and rest before continuing. Bring out the mountain bikes, hybrids and cruisers - I'm still working on the route, so stay tuned!!!!
Sunday we're holding another Mountain Biking 101 Clinic. These clinics are perfect for people new to mountain biking and who want to learn some basics including proper shifting, body positioning, and trail etiquette. Call the shop for more details and to RSVP.
Hope to see you at one of these events this weekend!

Ride Route - Saturday, September 11th
The ride for this Saturday will be up to Dinosaur Ridge and Red Rocks. Don't let the mileage on this ride fool you! It's rated as intermediate due to the climbs. As usual, we'll take our time getting up there - measure yourself against prior rides, and see just how much you've accomplished over the summer. The weather is looking nice for the weekend, and it should be a great ride!
If you have ideas for ride routes, let me know. I like to keep things interesting for you all, and welcome your suggestions - afterall, these rides are for YOU!! I did a pre-ride today of the Sanderson Gulch route that I posted 2 weeks ago, and there was a bit of construction along that way that makes me hesitant to do it right now.
For the following Saturday, the 18th, I'm planning a beginner ride to reward you all for the climbs we'll be doing this Saturday, and to give the recreational riders something to look forward to.
Like always, we'll roll at 9:30am. Make sure you arrive a bit early to check in, make sure your equipment is ready, and stock up on liquids and snacks! See you Saturday!

Ride Route - September 4th
Wow! It's hard to believe September is already here....where did the summer go? Labor Day Weekend is almost here, and we have a great ride planned for you. YES! We WILL be riding this Saturday, so if you're in town, come down and join us!
I've been looking for some different routes for us to take, and think I've found something nice - we'll be both on the road and on bike paths, go around a couple smaller reservoirs, and explore some new places. Check out the route below, and hope to see you on Saturday at 9:30am!

Recap - Group Ride for the 28th
What a great ride we had! An excellent group of riders and nice weather makes for a good time. We really kept a good pace going for most of the ride - until the 470 trail where we slowed it down a bit to make way for all of the people walking in the 3 Day Walk for the Cure. We even stopped to help a couple struggling with their tire change; now they know how to do it for the next time!
Ride stats: 29.23 miles in 2hr 2mins - A pretty darn good pace considering miles 19-25 were hindered by all the pedestrian traffic :)
See you all next week!

This Saturday's Group Ride - August 28th
This week's group ride will be a nice loop around the area. We'll leave the shop at 9:30am, and head through "the hole in the fence" to the Bear Creek Trail, go east to the Mary Carter Greenway/South Platte Trail, south to the 470 trail, and follow that around and up to Belleview. This ride is just shy of 29 miles. Check out the route and elevation profile below.
This ride is classified as "recreational" in nature which means:
* A great workout if you want to push yourself a little bit
* You try to ride once or twice a week
* Just getting back into the sport after sometime off
* Your commute to work is too short...you want more!
* Feel the distance/speed of the Int. group is too much
Avg MPH: 10-15mph
Avg Distance: 25-35 miles
Suggested Bike: Beginner Road, Hybrid
Saturday is looking to be another warm day with temps pushing 90. Make sure you hydrate in the morning on the way to the ride, and bring lots to drink with you. We'll stop to refill on the ride if we need to. Cycling is a lot more enjoyable if you're comfortable and safe - please alert one of the group ride leaders if we're going too fast for you, you need a little break, or you start to feel overheated. We've all been there before!!! Nothing ruins your love of the sport like a bad ride, so talk to us, and let us know what we can do to make it fun for you :)
