RECAP: Wednesday, July 27 - REI to nearly Cherry Creek Reservoir

Our intention was to ride the Denver Triangle and mother nature decided to shake the rain stick over us. With road tires and slick trails, we perservered and got in 22 miles but opted to cut the ride short with dark clouds looming to the west with the threat of more rain. A warm welcome to newcomer Kathy who joined us for the first part of the ride and opted to head take a shorter route. Bonnie, Gloria and Mindi joined me proud and strong for a ride in the rain. We all agreed, a riding venture we would not normally accept but today we road with intention and were proud of the twenty plus miles we did get in, weather and all. Thanks ladies for a little mid week adventure. Hope to see you all towards the end of the month. Trish will be leading next week out in the Centennial/Aurora area and we are uncertain if there will be a ride on August 17th as I will be out of town and Malia is getting married. Congrats Malia!!! Good night ladies! See you soon I hope.

RECAP: Wednesday, July 20th- Sloans Lake to Golden

We weren't going to let a few rain clouds keep us away this week! After a slight rain delay, I had a great group of seven women join me for an abbreviated ride. We had two new women join the group, Mindi and Lauren, who had tried to meet up the past couple of weeks when the weather forced us to cancel. Due to our rain delay, we got a later start and decided to shorten our ride and head out from Sloans Lake to Golden and back. Knowing that we weren't going to get in as many miles as we had hoped, we decided to push the pace a little and got in 20 total miles with an average speed of 17mph- nice work ladies! I'm sorry that I don't have any pictures to share this week- with the uncertain weather, my camera and camera phone stayed tightly sealed in the ziplock bag in my pocket. If I did have a picture it would show you the smiling faces of Sabine, Gloria, Tanya, Amy, Jessica, Mindi, and Lauren wiping the rain water from their sun glasses and loving every minute of it!

Please join ride leader Heidi next Wednesday for a favorite ride, the Denver Triangle.
Hope to see you for my next ride on August 3rd!

July 13th Ride- CANCELLED!

Sorry ladies, second week in a row we've had to cancel the ride to due weather. Rain clouds are building out in Golden and mixed in with the severe weather of the past couple of days, we're going to play it on the safe side and call the ride for tonight.
Fingers crossed for clearer weather next week!

Wednesday, 7/6 Ride CANCELED

Mother nature decided to wedge her way into our Wednesday ride on July 6th. We had to cancel for the sake of staying dry and not risking the lightening and potential hail called for in the severe storm weather warnings. We'll have to reschedule this ride for later this summer. Thanks to all the ladies who came out anyway. We hope to see you all again soon!
