Thank you!
On behalf of all of us at the Venus de Miles Bike Club and Full Cycle Bikes we would like to thank you for joining the Club this year. We are very excited about getting the season underway and glad you have decided to be part of it. Here are a few things to help you navigate the 2017 season.
Weekly Rides
Each week, you will have four group rides to choose from. Except for the Wednesday night ride, all rides will start and end at Full Cycle (which will be open for coffee, food, beer, and wine in late April or early May!). Our goal this season is to be ready for the Venus de Miles event in August. Here is the schedule:
Weekend Venus Rides (Women Only) - Alternating Saturdays and Sundays.
The first ride of the season is Saturday, April 15th, then we’ll ride on Sunday April 23rd, Saturday April 29th, etc. Each week there will be a choice of 3 different routes and distances. Each route will split into smaller groups of different paces. We start at 10am in April. The time will change as the season progresses and the temperatures go up.
Weekend FCBC Rides (Co-ed) - Alternating Saturdays and Sundays, opposite the Venus schedule. The first ride will be on Sunday April 16th, then on Saturday April 22nd, Sunday April 30th, etc. Each week there will be 2 or more groups: one easy/no drop pace, another moderate, but still relatively easy. Rides start at 9:30 am in April.
NCAR Repeats or Eldorado Springs Out and Back (Co-ed) - Every Wednesday rolling out at 6pm. Meet at Southern Sun in South Boulder. The first ride is Wednesday, March 15th.
Full Cycle Bike Club Thirsty Thursday Rides (Co-ed) - Every Thursday starting at 6 pm at the Downtown Full Cycle. The first ride will be Thursday, March 23rd.
After our rides, we will grab a bite to eat and drink at a local café. Southern Sun on Wednesdays after NCAR Repeats, Full Cycle on Pearl Street on other days (once the café is open).
