Thursday Advanced Road Ride | April 18 6:00PM
Welcome to the inaugural Thursday road ride of the 2024 season! This ride will jog your memory of the last Thursday road ride of 2023, because we’re following mostly the same route! Last time, several people loaded the wrong route which resulted in some missed turns. I won’t name names (*cough cough* KEVINKOOLE *cough*) but…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | July 13 6:30PM
This week’s rides will follow similar routes to last week’s cancelled ride. I chose last week’s courses mainly because I did what all good bike riders should do and limited my effort to the barest minimum required to achieve the goal of creating the needed courses, and also because there’s a chance again the weather…
