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!

RECAP: Deer Creek Canyon - Sunday, August 28

Another gorgeous day in Denver and not too many cyclists in Deer Creek Canyon with the Pro Challenge wrapping up in downtown today. Ride Leader Heidi was joined by female cyclists Megan and Chris. This was Chris's first time up Deer Creek Canyon and Megan's first time doing the entire loop. With heat index climbing quickly, we opted to take the High Grade route to get to the school quicker where we could replenish our water and grab some snacks and energy drinks before ascending the backside of City View. All in all we covered 43 miles and survived the heat. The views were stellar as always. What a great way to spend a Sunday. We met several nice cyclists along the way; one guy who hadn't consumed all of his 2 water bottles before reaching the school, which we assumed meant he was part camel. Great job ladies on climbing strong and steady. Hope to see you both out again soon.

RECAP: Aspen Grove to Chatfield Reservoir - Wednesday, August 24th

It was a pleasant evening ride out to Chatfield. Cloud cover made for a not so hot ride, a nice break from the continuing heat wave. I was joined by Bonnie (a regular), Kate, Debra, Jennifer and Megan. Congrats to Bonnie and Jennifer who completed the ever so tough Deer Creek Challenge last Sunday. I hope to participate in the Deer Creek Challenge next year. Our luck with weather has been hit or miss this summer to say the least. Thanks to the ladies mentioned above for joining me on my last Wednesday women's group ride of the season. Hope you all can join Malia to ride from REI to Golden next Wednesday for our official last Wednesday ride of the season. If you are up to doing some climbing and working those legs, join me this Sunday, August 28 to ride up Deer Creek Canyon. The plan is to ride up the canyon and then do City View and come down High Grade. It is roughly 50 miles. We'll meet at Aspen Grove at the Nature Center just off the Platte River Trail at 9:00 a.m. sharp. Thanks for a fantastic season ladies. We'll keep riding the last Sunday of the month through October. Happy riding!
