Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | August 8th 6:30PM
I so enjoyed riding the no-longer-gravel Townline the other week (thank you Sarah!) that I’m bringing it back in the opposite direction. Days are getting shorter, so bringing lights is a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | August 1st 6:30PM
Wait, August? When did that happen? I’m shamelessly stealing Meg’s route from a while ago, because they’re usually pretty good 🙂 We should have just enough daylight, and can shortcut fairly easily if we need to. It’s going to be another hot evening, so stay hydrated! Bringing lights is always a good idea. Load the…
