"Farewell to Fall" Hill Climb next Saturday, September 29

"Farewell to Fall"; or, "Fall River Follies" -- Rocky Mountain National Park
Hello, Swift Riders:
 
Here's a plan for next Saturday --
 
Meet 7:00 AM, Vics, load bikes.  Drive to Fall River Entrance Station, RMNP, a few miles above Estes Park.
 
Ride up Old Fall River Road to Alpine Visitors Center, near summit of Trail Ridge Road.  Total climbing about 4,000', nine miles on hardpack dirt.  I've ridden this twice in last two months on my road bike with medium tires and rims -- no trouble at all.  Grade a little steep at times, say low-teens percent, but mixed with more mellow sections.  Scenery will be glorious!  Then, after snack at Visitors Center, a bit more climbing on Trail Ridge Road followed by big descent. 
 
Cheers!

Weekend Rides (so far)

  • Saturday - I am heading out to scout out some potential new courses out East in Weld and Morgan county.  (depends on finding outside help to run races)   Hope to do some riding on a few of them.  Very Flat Terrain.  If interested in going out, send me an email.  I plan on leaving Boulder around 9:00.  Will be a longer day...
  • Sunday - Mountain Bike Ride - Meet at 9:00 at Vics - We will carpool up and ride the Sourdough Trail up above Ward.  Might be cool, so bring some warm clothing.  Mellow to Medium ride with regroups.  Beer afterwards?  I can drive 2 or 3 others.
  • Other rides - Send out Email...

Wednesday "Hill" Climb; Fizik Saddle?

  • Wednesday Evening "Hill" Climb - (For those not crossing)
5:45 at Ebin G Fine Park (Bike Path at base of Boulder Canyon) -
Take path up(dirt) to Four Mile Canyon, Ride up to where it turns to dirt, come back down and ride over Poormans(dirt) to Sunshine back to town.  Plenty of re-groups to wait for me...
 
  • Looking for used Fizik Saddle I could try out and/or buy.  I am looking around for a different ride this winter. 
  • Anybody interested going up and doing the Copper Triangle Ride on an upcoming weekend?  (Weather Depending)  http://coppertriangle.com/course.html - I-70 traffic should be low...

Labor Day Ride

Just an FYI - there is a $6 (i think) charge per car to use the park at Carter Lake.


On 8/31/07, Luisa Sullivan 
Thanks for the answers.....
 
Monday ride: It's going to HAPPEN!!! YEAH!!!  and  It will be GREAT for anyone 
May be GUYS will at least start with us !!! They are always very welcome!!!
 
Meet: For who wants to car-pool meet at Vic's at 7:15 otherwise:
8:00 a.m. at Carter Lake - at the Marina - North side - There are bathrooms and the little shop to buy anything you need before leaving.
8:15 WE LEAVE!!!
For who does not want to climb back up on the way back - can descend and park at the bottom of the downhill - before the right turn in the parking lot of the Visitor Center -  Just let us know so we know that we have to look for someone when we ride by the Visitor center.
 
It seems that it will be hot day - mid 90s through all the weekend - HYW 34 before the turn for Drake can get very hot soon - Make sure to have 2 bottles of ICED water/drink with you when we leave Carter -
 
-We will stay all together up to the turn for HYW 34 -
-Regroup at the turn for Drake - At the top of Glenn Heaven - At the bottom of the descend in Estes just before the entrace to the mall
- On the way back at the turn for Carter Lake on HYW 34.
 
We will have a nice break with sandwich in Estes at the street mall where MacDonals is (there is a cute coffee shop with smoothies and sandwiches and tables and restrooms close by)
The we will digest descending HYW 34 all the way to the turn to Carter Lake - few miles of rolling - and then 2 miles of climb - I beleive thay by 1-1:30 p.m. we should be back -
 
Well that's ALL!!!!

Have a "BELLISSIMO" weekend
Ciao
Luisa
