Tuesday, Tuesday, RMCC Climbing Tuesday!

Join us for the RMCC tradition: Tuesday Night Climbing. We meet at Beverly Heights Park at the base of Lookout. We'll group up about 5:25pm for introductions, route overview, sign-in, and other formalities. We plan to roll about 5:30.

This is a drop ride with regroup points. If you can finish Lookout solo within about 28 minutes you'll usually be able to catch back onto the group. Be aware that our group will roll from the regroup point atop Lookout about 30 minutes after ride start.

Frequented areas are Lookout, Colorow, Mt. Vernon, Genesee Mountain, Genesee, Grapevine / Lininger, Paradise. The route will change from time to time to keep things interesting - and challenging. Expect[masked]' elevation/mile, distances of 20-35 miles based on available daylight.

Again, this is a drop ride with regroup points that may provide the opportunity to catch back up. Expect separation on the climbs, and being comfortable in a draft will help on some of the flatter / roller sections.

We'll ride under most conditions; hot or cold, sunny or cloudy or rainy, windy or calm. Be sure to watch the weather and come prepared with the right clothing, water, and nutrition. I try to comment the day of the ride if there's anything I feel needs to be considered.

This event will be canceled if weather is not conducive for a safe, fun ride. I'll cancel as early as possible, however be prepared for game-time calls as weather can be unpredictable.

 
 
 

This is the weekly ride that meets in the NW corner of the south HS Parking lot. This is a great after work ride where We usually average 18- 20+ MPH. This week we will be going North which can be found below. Hope to see you there

This is a classic, super-scenic ride from the Golden area and a great way to kick off summer riding! We'll meet at Beverly Heights Park at the base of Lookout Mountain at 7:45 for an 8:00 departure. After climbing Lookout we'll take the combination of frontage roads and bike paths to Idaho Springs. From there we do the super-scenic climb up to Echo Lake and then Juniper Pass. From there, it's almost all downhill--down Squaw Pass, through Bergen Park, and down Lookout.

Total route is 70 miles with 7600 feet of climbing. While all of the ride is either up or down, it's perhaps a bit unusual for an RMCC ride in that it doesn't feature anything super steep. But the scenery more than makes us for that!

As with all of our weekend rides, this is a drop ride but we do regroup periodically.

Formal regroup points:
Mile 24: Kum and Go in Idaho Springs
Mile 56: King Sooper's Gas Station in Bergen Park

For those who have ridden this in the past, the Echo Lake Lodge has been closed down, so that store option no longer exists. :(

If you are newer to the area, do note that this ride goes up to 11,000 feet and the descent may be chilly even if it's warm down in Golden--bring a jacket!

Non-dues-paying members are welcome and invited to join us on any ride! After three rides we do ask that you join the club: https://www.rockymountaincyclingclub.com/rmcc-membership-application-form
