This 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.

Please arrive early enough to check your bikes ABC’s (air, brakes, chain) so we can roll out on time. You must bring a tire repair kit and spare tube to change a flat. Also a multi tool should be considered. It is your responsibility to have a working bike, dress appropriately for the weather, remain hydrated and to consume enough calories. Helmets must be worn whenever you are riding the bike.

If you plan to ride, please RSVP to let the ride leader and others know you will be there.

NOTE: With uncertain weather patterns, this ride may become a “show-n-go.” The leader will update the Meetup event as soon as possible. The group that does show agrees where to go together. Be prepared with a sign-sheet (download from https://bikesprings.org/Ride-Leader-Information). Instructions for where to send it after the ride are at the bottom of the first page.
