Last two rides!

We had two successful rides with three people for the last couple Tuesdays! We hulled ourselves up all of Belcher on the 4th of August and then got after it with two loops of Walker on the 11th. Definitely have a fast crew riding, so if you are up for a challenge, come join us on the 25th at Heil Ranch!

The new Tuesday Night Trail Ride

White Ranch August 4th - expect a challenge on this day with big climbs, technical descents down Mustang and some good stuff on Maverick and Long Horn. Ride will have around of 50-60min of respectable climbing.

No ride Tuesday,May 26th

Why? With an average of 1 person per ride, attendance is not convincing enough to warrant the need for a weekly Newbie ride. I think I will switch to a monthly BMA mountain bike clinic offering instead. ...So stay tuned for the next clinic!

No ride Tuesday, May 12th

I will not be able to lead a ride Tuesday, May 12th. Obligations on the home front ...I'll be busy playing with my kids.

Tuesday May 5th at Betasso!

Cinco de Mayo ride at the Betasso Trail head. Ride will leave at 6pm.

Head up Boulder Canyon (Hwy 119) for a few miles and turn Right on Sugerloaf - go a mile or so and then take a right at the brown park sign. I believe it's the first right on Sugerloaf. There is a nice big parking area you can't miss.

See ya there!

Tuesday April 21st

Place: Marshall Mesa Trailhead - South East corner of 93 and Marshall Road. Starting in May the first Tuesday of every month we will meet at a different location that will be announced by the last Tuesday of the month. All the rest of the Tuesdays each month will be at the Marshall Mesa Trailhead.

When: Tuesdays: Ride LEAVES at 6pm - so get there by 5:45pm especially if you are not a BMA member so you can sign a waiver. Again, we will leave at 6pm and not wait for anyone.

What: This is a great ride for all levels of mountain bikers to advance their skills. Excellent opportunity for beginners to learn skills and advanced riders to explore new techniques. We will session different terrain, hit some intervals and on occasion; just plain ride. This is certainly a no drop, no pressure ride. Don't plan on a huge workout unless you are really out of shape!

Why: because sometimes we just need to play on our bikes.

Weather considerations: If it's too muddy to ride, we will find a spot without as much Mud or do some street riding 'bike-fu' for 30-60mintes. If it is too dangerous to ride because of lightening or extreme conditions, I will send an email by 4pm on the day of the ride.

Newbie Ride - April 14th

We had a group of 1 again (2 inclucing me)! ...another successful newbie ride! However, today our rider was not so new as we climbed directly up to the ditch from the parking lot across the bridge and directly to 128/93 trail-head, across Flatirons Vista Trail and then hit the Doudy Draw switch back and up around the Springbrook counter clockwise and down to the Community Ditch trail, across 93 and then straight down to the Marshall trailhead in 1hour and 15minutes. We kept it conversational but I am guessing 75minutes would be a fun challenge for most; try it!
