Weekly shop ride
(only during daylight savings time; cancelled in winter)
Wednesdays @ 6:30 (weather permitting) our weekly "Criterium training ride" departs from the Hiram Silver Comet Trailhead. This is a great ride for experienced as well as novice riders. The ride begins with a brisk 10 mile warmup and then moves on to a small, quarter mile course less than a half mile from the trailhead. It is great opportunity to experience the dynamics of criterium racing without the stress of 40 other riders surrounding you. I will gladly ride with anyone to help along with pack etiquette and general pack behavior, this is a great experience and intro into road racing 101! The criterium portion is usually around 40 minutes long and if you can't keep up, just sit up and wait for the group to come back around, they'll be glad to let you back on! It's impossible to get dropped!! Isn't that grand??
