Ride Description and Notes:
We will ride from Meadow Vista Park, at 9:00 AM....as usual, the Thursday rides are casually paced, we will have multiple regroups, and I will sweep.  HOWEVER...MOTHER NATURE has some plans for Thursday that include high winds and 100% chance of rain.  Mother Nature has been known to change her mind and move on.  SO, watch for a "go or no" e-mail Thursday morning, no later than 7:30 on Thursday morning.  In case we do get to ride, we will be doing the "Three Loops" route which is about 18 miles and keeps us pretty close to home base.  Hope to see you Thursday,  Ron

Sunday rides are at least 40 miles in length, giving moderate level riders the chance to ride a little further than our average distance. You'll find some rides that are flattish and some that are killer hilly. The average pace of the Sunday rides varies hugely based on the distance and the amount of climb. The start location of this ride varies weekly, so check the calendar.
