What we’re about
Colorado Springs Cycling (CSC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1987 to provide a variety of bicycling activities. We have weekly rides, annual rides, member meetings with educational topics and parties, and training. For non-club rides such as Elephant Rock, we use Meetup to let our members know who is planning to attend so they can carpool and possibly ride together.
If you are not yet a member of CSC, we invite you to join us for one ride. If you have a good time and want to ride with us more, you can visit our website to join the club. Annual dues are $30 for an individual or $50 for a family.

Tour de Latte - ! Alternate start location !
Bass Pro Shops, 13012 Bass Pro Dr, Colorado Springs, CO, USThe Tour de Latte is designed as a casual social ride around Colorado Springs on Saturday mornings, each week stopping at a different independent coffee house. It is always a no drop, led social ride, with posting at corners and sweeps designated. During the off-season (October-April), the Latte Ride distance will vary depending on weather and ride participants, but the speed will always be casual (8-10 mph average). If you are interested in riding, please RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
Since it is off-season, I may not always be available to ride. I will post in the comments if I am going, so watch for that. If I am not riding, but you wish to, please download and print a sign-in sheet to have everyone sign before the ride. You can mail or email the sign-in sheet to the address on the form.

Starting Location: Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50194949This is a no-drop group ride catering to riders who enjoy climbing and are looking to find some gratitude with altitude. It is meant to be a "Zone 2" ride which means a low to moderate pace that allows for a conversational effort, where you can talk while riding. For current (and former) competitive cyclists, this would classify as a pure recovery ride (Zone 1). The route will change periodically and add more elevation as the weeks go by. Distance will be somewhere between 25 miles to 30 miles and elevation will range from approximately 3K to 5K. E-assist bikes welcome. There will be short "regroups" throughout to support different level riders and safer fueling.
In order to participate in this event you must read the following in its entirety, read all updates posted in the comments thread, and respond promptly to all direct messages from the ride leader. You must also examine the route via the link for details on distance, surface and elevation profile.

You should not take the lead and push the pace or split the group without consulting the ride leader.
We will share the trails and roads with other riders and users. We will not buzz or bomb other users. We will not engage in risky behavior that could harm ourselves or other people.
