Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 31st 6:30PM
The last ride for July, where does the time go? At least it’ll be about 15 degrees cooler than last Thursday, so that’ll be a nice change. And I’m shamelessly stealing last week’s cancelled routes. Bringing lights is always a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how. Disclaimer:…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 27, 8:00am
ROUTE UPDATE: Hey gang! I hope you’re all ready for a little adventure this Sunday. I’m planning on leading y’all out on a proper “multi-surface” route.
