Tues Nite Rides Are On!

... while the evening light lasts.

Meet at Flanders Park, Dolores, at 6pm. Usually we'll head to House Creek.

See you there!

3/27 ride to Hesperus

Weather willing...

Leaving Parque de Vida in Cortez at 10:00am

I'm riding base pace = low hr/slow enough to talk without breathing hard. I have learned to not speak for anyone else on that.

Hope to see you there.

Sat Ride, Mar 6

Hola Ciclistas,

cure for cold? CORE

Don't just sit there and watch commercials - work on your core...
"Although a cyclist's legs provide the most tangible source of power, the abs and lower back are the vital foundation from which all movement, including the pedal stroke, stems."
