Monday (Labor Day) Road Ride

Monday - Vics @ 8:00 -

Fwd: GPS Magnolia Trails

Stephen,
Good ride today! Here's a picture of the ride, and a Google Earth KMZ file if you want to zoom in. My GPS reported about 2800 feet of climbing - way too much, I 'd say.

George

Saturday MTB Ride

Saturday - Taking 8:00 AM Bus up to Nederland. (Unless I get a ride up :-)

Planning on riding West Mag and Dot Trails. Lots-O-Fun ride.

Mindi - Good Luck at Leadville 100!

Sunday - I am helping with the Boulder Road Race. If you like climbing, this is the race for you! Pre-Reg at http://dbcevents.com/

Stephen

*Anybody know how to record Internet Streaming? Olyimpic RR is on from 9:00 pm to 3:30 am Friday Night/Saturday Morning. Women's Midnight to 3:30 Sunday 'morning'... It will be chopped up, dramatic story added and editted and show during the day on NBC.

Junior National TT - Michael 4th - 1.5 seconds back...

...after 21 minutes is what separated the top four placings in the Junior Men 13-14 Time Trial yesterday. Michael was fourth among them, for a podium placing! His teammate Dean got 7th, only 22 seconds back.

In hindsight he of course was bemoaning the numerous places where he could have picked up a fraction of a second, but that's racing. At least he knows he's among the strongest, and is looking to come out fighting for the crit today. This is likely to come down to a sprint - usually a strength for Michael, though the size of the top two guys on yesterday's podium is somewhat scary and who knows how good their sprints may be.

Cheers,
Dan

Thursday Evening HC Ride

Thursday - 5:45 meet up at Ebine G Fine Park - (As long as the storms miss us)

MTB ride - Tuesday night - laps at Betasso

I will be doing a MTB ride tomorrow evening (Tuesday). I will be at Eben G. Fine Park at 5:30, and will head up the Boulder Canyon Link trail and do 1-2 laps at Betasso Preserve. Pace and distance will be determined by the group (if there is a group), but I will probably be on a single speed, so pace will pretty mellow.

Steve

Fwd: saturday rides (REVISED!)

Ok. Looks like there are a couple of options:

Josh talked me into doing rondes des bergs. 8:00 but meet at Cafe
Sole. It is something like this:
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/ronde-des-bergs

Mindi is still doing the old stage / lee hill ride because of time
constraints. If you're interested, be sure to email, otherwise she
might not go by vics at all.

Good news ...
State Highway 170 to gain shoulders

The Boulder County Transportation Department will begin a project this spring to add shoulders to State Highway 170. Boulder County is working cooperatively with CDOT to complete this 3.5-mile stretch of highway between State Highway 93 and Superior. The final product will look similar to Cherryvale Road, which was completed a few years ago. The purpose is to provide a safer area for bicycles to ride on the road adjacent to automobiles.

Originally identified as a priority in the Transportation Sales Tax passed in 2001, the project is estimated to cost $2.3 million when completed. The first phase of the project was completed in 2007, when the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) paved the surface of the road for winter wear. The final phase of the project will add another layer of asphalt after the shoulders have been constructed.

SH 170 is a scenic road that runs along the old mining community of Marshall and allows views of historic railroad grades and open space trails. It is popular with commuter and recreational bicyclists alike.

Fwd: Saturday ride

Hi all - I plan to leave Vic's at 9 for 2-3 hours. Maybe Ward if I feel up to it, maybe not. Jeff

Swift donates used water bottles to YMCA

A very happy YMCA youth program director poses with bags and boxes of clean, used water bottles left over from the Hugo Road Race, which took place May 31, 2008. Six to seven hundred bottles have been re-used from both Deer Trail and Hugo this year. All part of making Swift an environmentally friendly bike club. We also buy carbon credits to offset the greenhouse gases emitted by offering our bike races, and do Adopt-a-Road cleanup of Nelson Road between 51st and 63rd.

Hill Climb ride - Thursday, 5:30, Vics 30th

Vics 30th, 5:30, Thursday, climbing ride - Lee Hill to Deer Trail and return

I am going to ride Lee Hill to the top, and continue on up the Deer Trail road to the end of the pavement. Lee Hill is moderate, but Deer Trail appears to be a bit steeper. I have never ridden Deer Trail, so it might be a bit of an adventure. We can re-group at the top of the Lee Hill climbs and at the top of Deer Trail. Return will be retracing Lee Hill back home.

Steve

Estes Park Trip

Great trip up to Estes Park! Jenny drove the 3 cylinder sag wagon filled to the brim. Mindi got the prize for most stuff, David Coombs for ...nothing..except the Swift Cycling Cake! The crew was pretty exhausted from the ride up to Estes and then had to crawl up a loooong, steeeeep hill to the cabin. I think Jeff's face says it all. Had a delicious spaghetti dinner on Friday night (sauce made in a pressure cooker...it was so good). French toast for breakfast....Jenny did a solo ride in the park while the others did their killer ride down to Lyons and back. Lots of kids showed up on Sunday to close out a great weekend. Let's do it again soon!

Tuesday HC - Top of Flagstaff Mountain

Hard charging assault on Super Flagstaff

Al, Stephen, Jenny, and I made the assault on Flagstaff last night. After a warm-up tour of the well-heeled neighborhoods of upper Chautauqua, the climb started in earnest. Jenny kept a reasonable pace, while the rest of us took off like mountain goats on amphetamines, with heart rates near unsustainable levels. In a wise move, Al, with two weekend rides under his belt, turned around at the amphitheater road, while the two Stephen's soldiered on. We made it to the top under gray and threatening skies, with Stephen digging deep after two (2!) time trials on Sunday and a commute to work on Tuesday. Someplace on the interwebs, there is a camera picture of Stephen H. at the top, taken while muttering that "...I won't be up here again for awhile..."

Nice temps, great views of the Indian Peaks still deep in snow (if you could bear to take in the vistas under the heavy suffering imposed by the upper Flagstaff sections) and a welcome change from the summer Flagstaff ride heat where the asphalt is melting and one is drenched with sweat. I am thinking that a Super Walker ride is in order soon - get out your knobbies...

Steve

It's not all about riding...just mostly.

Out celebrating Stephen's 39th birthday at The Med on May 2, 2008!

Surf and Turf (asphalt) in Santa Cruz

Some pictures from my trip to Santa Cruz. The road riding there is really spectacular, much more steep up and down ( (15+% grades) with roads on the ridges connected by little dark and twisty connector roads that dive down into the redwoods. I was always waiting for a hobbit or some other creature to come out of these dark woods.

No ice cream on this road, but steep riding

Swanton organic strawberry farm, $3 pints on the honor system, yummers!

Treat stop on the coast highway

Local Santa Cruz surf spot, no beginners allowed. I stayed far away.

Typical road, steep and narrow

Banana slug, the UC-Santa Cruz mascot. This one is about 4" long.

Fwd: Four Mile - Logan Mill - Betasso MTB Ride Sunday

Hey all,

Here is the new deal. Jeff and I are meeting at the Justice Center parking lot at 12:00 on Sunday. We will ride up the canyon bike path to Four Mile Canyon to Logan Mill, up Logan Mill to Sugarloaf, down Sugarloaf to Betasso, and do 1-2 laps at Betasso. Four Mile is paved, but Logan Mill is fire road dirt climbing, and Betasso is up and down. Not sure what we will find for conditions at Betasso (if muddy we will skip it), and there may be a bit of route finding on Logan Mill, but I guarantee that it will all work out in some fashion.

Steve

afternoon (warm!) rides Sat and Sun

Looks like I can ride at 2 on Saturday from S. Boulder (or a bit later from elsewhere) and at or after noon on Sunday. I'm open to suggestions for length/difficulty/route, but plan to ride MTB at least one of the days. Let me know what you're up for. I'll make a plan and post it tomorrow. Jeff

Saturday Ride (3/29)

Saturday Ride (3/29) - Vics - Leave at 10:00
If it isn't too windy, I am going to do a lap of the Haystack Mtn TTT course and then maybe go up to Jamestown. If super windy, I'm going to avoid 36. No fun in wind...
Shooting for 3 hours with some longer hard efforts.

Stephen
Why do people have hour long meetings on speaker phones in cubical land?!? Ugh...

Saturday (3/29) Easy/Moderate Ride

I have to be back early on Saturday, so I am planning on doing a shorter, easier ride than the main group. Pace will be moderate, no hard efforts, probably about 1 1/2 hours, 2 hours max. I will be at Vic's at 9:45, leaving at 10:00.

If you have not been out much this year or just want to go shorter or slower, this would be a good ride to check out. The weather looks to be decent for Saturday, maybe a bit windy, but I will be there unless the weather gets bad. Raining or snowing, no ride for me.

Steve

Noon Ride for me...

I'm delaying my ride till Noon - Still planning on doing 2 or so hours. A bit to cold and damp out for me right now...

* I heard the Fun-N-Stuff (Pysco-Logic) ride last Saturday was big and had a bunch of nasty crashes along 36. Glad I don't have to do those anymore!

Swift Trips - Moab and Estes Park

Moab - Weekend of April 5&6 - We were split on dates and this is the only one Jenny & I can go up, so this is the weekend I am planning out. Looking at either doing a Thursday to Sunday, 3rd to 6th or Friday to Monday - 4th to 7th. Shorter stayers are welcome.

Camping or Condo? Road or MTB? Those are the questions!

Let me know if you are interested and I'll start making plans.

Estes Park Big Ride Weekend - May 16th to 18th -

Stay 2 nights at the YMCA - Rent Cabin or two. Ride, Rest, Cook, Eat and Drink a lot. Last weekend before Memorial Day, so weather should be good and not too much traffic.

Shuttle up luggage in car. That person would ride back to group from Estes.

Friday - Ride up from Boulder.

Saturday - do ride out of Estes. Bottom part of Trail Ridge will be open, Horsetooth - Big Thompson loop...

Sunday - Ride back to Boulder via Peak to Peak

If people wanted to drive up Friday evening and do rides out of Estes that is good also. Families are welcome also. Lots of activities at the Y. http://www.ymcarockies.org/

Happy Trails,

Stephen
