Rides
The following rides occur on a weekly basis. All rides are "no-drop", which means that riders will not be left behind. Riders should, however, be familiar with the ride guidelines before attending a club ride. Ride specifics, including routes, time changes, and cancellations, are emailed to club members. Join our email list or register on the ride calender to receive these announcements and occasional additional rides and information. We are always looking for new ride leaders, so if you are interested in leading a ride, please send us some email.
Day Ride Description
Sunday Breakfast Club This is an 'A' paced ride that is not afraid of doing a few hills. Typical routes include Carter Lake, Estes Park, Rist Canyon, Stove Prairie, or Poudre Canyon. If you are a strong rider and would like to hone your group riding and paceline skills, this could be the ride for you. The ride leaves from the Fort Collins High School parking lot (south side) at 9:00am (winter schedule) and is lead by Steve Douglas. The ride has its own Yahoo mailing group: BreakfastClubCycling.
Tuesday Lunch Ride This is a casual 'B/C' paced ride for those riders looking to get some exercise with their social time. The ride leaves at 11:30am and meets in the Hewlett Packard parking lot outside building 6 (south side). The route taken is typically Lunch Ride route #1. The routes during winter usually include unimproved (dirt) roads. The ride leader is Steve Douglas.
Saturday Performance Ride This ride will typically be a 'B' paced ride, but depending on ride leader availability, more paces may be offered. The ride leaves from the Performance Bike Shop in Fort Collins at 9am.
