Starting Tuesday, two new club rides will start at 9am from Salida Bike Company. These rides will be for those riders training for events this summer like RTR, BTC, grand fondos, centurys, or IM. Each ride will be about 3hrs at endurance pace. Car pool rides to Indy and Cottonwood Passes, Cotopaxi/Westcliff/Cotopaxi, and other local road trip rides are planned. We intend to post the ride routes Monday and Friday evenings.
With the addition of these two rides, the Thursday BAM, and Sunday's Pastry Rides our members can chose a ride that suits their ability and ride schedule.
For our ride tomorrow (TUE May 12), start is at 9 am from the Salida Bike Company, out 160 to 285 then north thru Mesa Antero to Mt Princeton HS. On up to Chalk Creek Lake then back home via 291. This is about 45 miles. This will be a faster ride, with little if any regrouping. The intention is building speed and endurance, great training for bigger rides!
