Winter Weekend Rides

Winter Weekend Rides - We are moving all rides to roll out at 10:00 at Vics unless otherwise notified. Weather Dependent. Send out emails on iffy days, if you plan to roll out.
Saturday more open, Sunday usually longer endurance rides. Bring a helmet and good winter tires, Gatorskins, Armadillos, etc, as we don't want to be spending a lot of time waiting on flats. Also, sometimes we may turn off on some dirt roads to break up the ride.

The 1st and 3rd Sundays Swift Cycling will do new rider/recruitment rides. Meet and Greet at 9:45, ride at 10:00.

New Racer/Rider Recruitment Rides - Dec. 2 & 16

Hey All,
We will host two New Racer/Rider Recruitment Rides on December 2 & 16.  1st and 3rd Sundays.
Vics - 9:45 Meet and Greet - 10:00 Ride
Base/Aerobic Fitness rides between 2 to 4 hours.  Split into a few groups depending on current fitness level.  Work on Pacelines and Echelons. *I will be leading the slower 2 hour group, as I have been out of action for most of November. 
 
The Farmers Almanac says it's going to be great weather riding (or planting winter wheat), so come on out and start getting ready for the 2008 biking season.
I will place a blurb in the Daily Camera and on the ACA Forum.  We will use this as a guide to doing some more Recruitment Rides through the winter.
 
Happy Thanksgiving!  I'll be thinking about biking as I'm on the beach in Mexico drinking a few Margaritas.  :-)

ride tomorrow - Sat. 11/17

Hi Folks-
I remember a while back there was a plan to have organized base rides
on the first and third Saturdays of the month.  Well, tomorrow is the
third Saturday of November.  I'll be there.  The only question is
time.  The earlier the better for me, but I have a little
flexibility.  I'd suggest 9:30 again.  Any objections?  Unless at
least two people reply and say "I'd rather do xx:xx time," then that's
when I will be there.  As for route, what's everyone think of out 75th
to the Box, back St. Vrain to 63rd?  I'm also starting to itch for
some dirt, but I can hold off a while if necessary.

Happy Friday-
Josh

Sat 9:30 AM ride

I'm thinking 2.5 hours at a conversational pace, maybe a Fruit Loop.  
9:30 at Vic's...Jeff

Roadside cleanup: Who is this Sunday, the 4th or next Sunday, the 11th?

Hi,
 
I can do the cleanup either this Sunday, the 4th, or next Sunday, the 11th?  We can do it in the morning or afternoon, whichever works for the most people.  We need at least 6 people....
 
Please let me know your availability so we can have fun together picking up trash!  ;  )
 
Thanks!
Jenny

Skills Clinic Delayed to Oct. 28

Sunday's weather looks like it is going to be cold and snow/rain.
So, Andrea and I are going to delay the Skills Clinic a Week to Oct. 28 at 10:00.
 
A few ideas of what we will go over...
  • Paceline / Pack - Skills and Group Riding Etiquette.  How to rotate off the front, signalling hazards, echelons, staying on shoulders.
  • A little bumping and rubbing - On grass at park
  • Cornering - Counter Steering, picking a line
  • ? - If you have questions let us know.
 
Thanks,
Stephen
