From the President:

Now that the spring flowers qre blossoming, our world is greening up and the ski slopes are mostly shutdown,
it's time to dust off your bikes and start riding! We are trying to roll out new rides to fit your requests. Several people have stepped forward to volunteer as ride leaders and I want to thank them all very much! Remember, we are a volunteer organization so if you'd like to help out, please email me.

A quick reminder that the Road to Victory Ride to benefit the Davis Phinney Foundation is coming up fast! (May 17) One of our strongest supporters & Club Member Marcus has worked very hard to put it together. Let's show him our support and help make this event a success! See the sidebar and the ride site for more details.

This weekend features a new ride the "Bus 'n' Bike" ride that Peter is leading. Put your bike on the bus to Ned and ride back on down to Boulder. See below for the full description. Thanks Peter for your creative efforts! We will continue to roll out new rides as the season progresses.

Check the calendar on the website for updates.
Hope to see you out there on the bike!

If you have any questions feel free to email me at [email protected]
