What we’re about
Colorado Springs Cycling Club (CSCC) 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 CSCC, 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.

Here is the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50615125
NOTE: this ride may be cancelled due to leader availability or road and weather conditions. If you plan to ride, please RSVP so you will receive a notice should the ride be canceled.
Newcomers are always welcomed for the first ride without paying CSCC membership dues. You will be asked to join if you show up for a second ride. You can join the CSCC at https://bikesprings.org/join-us
The Wednesday Morning Ride is an intermediate (10-14 mph), no-drop ride with catch-up points along the route. There may be a planned rest stop along the route, but we will have a “sweep” and will regroup as necessary to ensure no rider is left behind. The ride leader will publish a Ride with GPS link to the route the weekend before the ride with a start location. You can download a free version of the app from your phones app store.
We will ride 18-30 miles depending on weather and road conditions. Unless noted, we will leave from Legacy Plaza off the I-25 and Centennial exit and ride in different directions each week.
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. Instructions for where to send it after the ride are at the bottom of the first page.

This one is long and challenging. Perfect for a Saturday morning. 40+ miles and nearly 3,000 feet of elevation gain. There will likely be washboard roads, soft sandy surfaces, punchy climbs and fun descents. We start at Lincoln Mountain Open Space and ride to the town of Elbert.

A gravel, cyclocross, or mountain bike would be appropriate for this ride. This is a no drop ride but you must have done this distance before, or something close to it, and be confident that you can finish the ride. If you need to turn around or if you ride off the front, then getting back is your responsibility and at your own risk. Cell phone service can be poor or nonexistent in some areas. 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. We will follow all traffic laws and yield the right of way where appropriate. We will not antagonize other road or trail users.
