RECAP: Sunday, October 30th 2011

Four ladies joined me this past Sunday for the last Bicycle Village Women's Group Ride of the season. The temparature was 33 degrees when I left my car to meet the ladies at 9 a.m. and slowly climbed to 64 degrees during the ride. We road out through the Highlands and worked our way out to Golden. Sarah and Katie were our two newest riders and Katie ventured up Lookout Mountain for the first time. Katie - it does get easier after the first. From the top of Lookout we kept climbing to the Lookout Mountain Nature Center for a pit stop before continuing our climb up past Mt. Vernon Country Club before the much needed, long decent back down to Golden. We achieved 46 miles and the weather was crisp and clear. Jackets and long fingered gloves were essential. Thank you ladies for a great ride. If it weren't for you, I would have been at home lounging and drinking coffee. Thanks for helping me find the
necessary excuse to get our and ride when the seasons change. See you next spring or on the road this winter.

Sunday, September 25th Ride CANCELED

We unfortunately have to cancel the Sunday September ride due to ride leader commitments. I will definitely be leading the last Sunday of October and you can count on that ride being a go.

Thank you for your understanding and our sincerest apologies to those of you that were planning on this ride.

I hope you are able to get out for a ride this weekend. Please join Bicycle Village's Saturday coed group rides that take place all year as long as the weather is accommodating.

Cheers!
Ride Leader - Heidi

RECAP: REI to Golden, Aug 31st- Last Wednesday Ride of 2011!

We had another solid turnout for our last Wednesday ride of the season. Six women met me at REI and we weren’t going to let darkening clouds and strong wind keep us from our last chance to ride together during the week! Thankfully the wind didn’t get any stronger and we were able to make our way into Golden. The headwind that we had to battle on the way out gave us a nice push on the way back to REI and we averaged over 17 mph on the return trip. A beautiful sunset sent us on our way home.

Thank you to all of the wonderful women who joined our Wednesday evening rides this season, and especially Rachel, Meggin, Debra, Amy, Jenna and Gloria for the fun ride to end the weekday season!
