Spin Into the Setting Sun 2026
Details
This week the B groups will ride the 24 mile Rabbit Mountain route from Bearded Brewer. We'll be watching the weather forecast as we get closer to Tuesday.
If you're not ready for the climb, you can shorten this by about a mile by stopping at the Rabbit Mountain Trailhead Parking Area. Just wait for your group to come back down.
As always, when stopped for regrouping at the top of the hill for the turnaround, please stay on the side of the road to keep the community happy up there.
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR "A" RIDERS: The "A" riders will ride a longer route than the other groups. Todd will host this ride, and he has some new guidelines.

The other groups will use a shorter route.
When congregating in the Bearded Brewer parking lot before the ride, please organize at the southwest corner to avoid blocking car traffic.
We typically self-organize into three groups at the start of the ride:
GROUP A: This group will be at a faster pace (19+mph average)
GROUP B1: This group will be at a medium/fast pace (17 to 19 mph average)
GROUP B2: Rides in the 15-17 mph range. This a NO-DROP group and we will strive to wait for everyone at particular re-gathering points on the route.
NOTE ABOUT SAFETY: The time of day this ride takes place is typically during heavier traffic times; our #1 goal is always to keep everyone safe, and to keep the car/bike relationship harmonious. With the large group sizes we often have, please ride single file and within the bike lanes, and do not obstruct traffic.
