One warm-up climb, then a lot of rolling singletrack. We'll ride to the group's level and regroup as necessary, but keep in mind this is a weekly ride and most of the usual group are regulars keeping up with winter rides, so expect a pretty brisk pace.
High output lights with 2 hr burn required, please check with ride leader in advance if you have not been on night rides before.
Meet at Tolt Middle School across the street from the entrance to Tolt MacDonald Park. If the school is having an event and the lot is full, park on Tolt Ave near the entrance to the park.
High winds and/or heavy rain cancels, light drizzle and we ride.
Leave at 6:00. Call in advance if running late.

**WE'LL BE DOING INTERVALS UP THE FIRST HILL/LOOP - LOOPS ARE SELF-PACED, PREPARE FOR 3. THEN WE'LL HEAD OUT TO THE Y AFTER THE FIRST ROAD AND RETURN***
We're officially sponsored by Sturdy Bitch and Big Tree Bikes so there's a bit of a name change on the rides... but, we are still going to keep on going with the weekly women’s rides with an intent to build/maintain fitness throughout the winter & spring. These rides are for riders with intermediate skills and with a good base fitness. Riders should be comfortable climbing 1500-1800 feet in a 15-21 mile ride. Riders must be comfortable riding at night and have their own light. There will be little to no stopping on the ride, we will be moving at a consistently medium-fast pace.
Rides will generally take place on Wednesdays though occasional weekend rides with more extended distance and elevation gain will be posted as well. Riders should bring their own water, food, tools, pump and spare tube.
If you already have a good base of skill and fitness and want to maintain that and grow your climbing ability to the winter, come on out and join me. Will ride in the drizzle, pouring rain cancels.
Please drop from the ride no later than 4PM if you don’t intend to show up. If there are names on the list, people will show with the expectation that you’ll be there. : ) Don’t make us drive out to find ourselves alone at the trailhead. : )
Thanks!
Looking forward to strong legs, good lung capacity, and a renewed love for climbing.

It may be cold out, but its a great time to get outside and ride your bike. You'll get a jump on the spring season and be ready for more rides as the weather gets better. This class will teach you to ride safely and have fun on single track trails. You'll learn how to ride over the slippery rocks, roots, and logs of the Pacific Northwest. Soon, you'll be ready to join us for some fun rides. We look forward to seeing you in class.
This class will be co-taught by Fredrika, Jerry, Chris U, and Silvia. (Click for more info)

Adding in a Tapeworm Ride - this will be unguided and we'll do intervals at race pace through various sections of the trail. Really, just pushing hear rate and seeing what winter training has done for us.

Within 15 minutes of Denver are 4 billion year old "Red Rocks" and 100 million year old dinosaur tracks from when this was the beach. I lived here in 2005 and 5 years later I would like to show others the best ride I found was a 3 hour @ a-mile-high-is-plenty loop including options for 3-toed dinosaur tracks and many do-overs on the wonderfully challenging uphill Morrison trail.
Red Rocks has no shows scheduled this April or May so will go in mid-April.
Let's fly out after work Thursday 4/15 and return the evening of Monday 4/19. That gives us nearly 4 days of riding or 3 rides and a day of skiiing at Breckenridge or Copper an hour up the hill.
