Monday Night Dinner Ride - 12 May 2025

We'll start the CSCC Monday Night Dinner Rides for 2025 on May 12th. Barb and I rode two Monday nights ago out of University Village (UV) to check things out this season. It was a slightly cool night so we ate indoors. The temp was 62'F with a 10-15 mph north wind.

First, just a reminder: While this is classified as a Green ride, you should be able to continuously ride comfortably at a speed of 10 miles per hour, with a variation of speed between 9 and 15 mph (depending on uphill or downhill). We usually regroup a few times during the ride. Typically, the ride will be 10 to 14 miles in length (gradually moving towards that 14-mile length as we progress into the summer). The increased fitness and length opens up some different routes for us.

Our co-host is Dale Campbell for this series. We all have some schedule conflicts this summer. So check the calendar each week to make sure there are ride plans/arrangements for that Monday.

For this Dinner Ride, plan to gather at our usual location in the parking lot in University Village (north of Panera) around 5:00pm. We want to start the ride promptly at 5:15. This week we'll exit out of UV by Costco and choose a ride on the Greenway Trail. We'll return to UV after about 60 to 75 minutes of riding. At that point, the ride should give us a sufficient amount of fresh air and exercise to be hungry enough to order at a UV restaurant when we get back.

The Fox 21 weather forecast for 12 May is almost unbelievable - no chance of rain and temp expected to be in the 80'Fs.

Ride Rsvps are appreciated, but not required. Looking forward to riding with you on Monday!
