Sunday Hill & Valley Tour

Your route for this Sunday is the Hill & Valley Tour #1, the very first route I created for this event. But I won't be leading it (vacation!) so I need one of you and you know who you are (hill climbers) to step forward and volunteer. You already have the route so the rest is easy. Let Jean Zeh know if you want to lead and print out a ride sign-up sheet and incident report form found here (you will need to be a member with ID & PW to access: https://bikesprings.org/resources/Documents/RiderSignIn.pdf https://bikesprings.org/resources/Documents/CSCC%202017%20Incident%20Report.pdf. Have a great ride!

The Sunday Hill & Valley Tour is a no drop ride with an emphasis on improving climbing skills and stamina. Riders who have an above average level of fitness (meaning, for example, you should be able to ride up Flying W Ranch Rd from the south without stopping until you get to the top) are invited to join. The ride will re-group at the top of hills. So, if you are one of the first riders up, you have the option to roll back down and repeat the climb as often as you like until everyone finally arrives. Distance usually ranges from 20 to 30 miles. The ride usually lasts 2-3 hours, giving riders the opportunity to join the Sunday Social Ride as well.

And note NEW START TIMES: Winter (Oct -May) starting time, 10 am. Summer (June-September) starting time, 9am.
