Hi Everybody,
Just reminder about Thursday's Jamestown Ride:
Intermediate Road Bike Hill Climb ride to Jamestown
Leaving Amantes North at 5:45 pm on Thursday July 31st.
Meet at 5:30
for a 5:45 departure.
Join ride leader Marie on a hill climb to Jamestown.
We'll head up 36, turn on Lefthand Canyon road, and take the classic
route to Jamestown. It's probably the easiest mountain climb in the
Boulder area and is suitable for all road bike riders especially
intermediate road bike riders or folks new to road biking. Pace will
be 15mph to 18mph on the flats and quite a bit slower on the climb.
The BCC has a "no drop policy" meaning we will wait up for you so long
as you are willing to complete the ride.
On the way back, if the interest is there we will split
the group with some returning the way we came and others returning via
Old Stage hill climb. The Old Stage Hill is steeper than Jamestown but
very short. Following the Old Stage climb enjoy a fast decent down to
Lee Hill road and back to Amantes. It's also a shorter route back!
Afterwards, stick around at Amantes for a refreshing
drink. We are a social group not a race group so we encourage you to
hang out and get to know your fellow cyclists.
Although it's a "no drop pace", we do ask that you are
somewhat comfortable on a road bike and that you are reasonably fit.
In otherwords, if you haven't been on your bike all summer then this
probably isn't the ride for you.
This is a social ride and not a race. Everyone climbs at
their own pace so it is unlikely the group will stick togther. Again,
if you are willing to "ride the ride" we'll make sure someone is there
to support to you.
So if you are relatively new to road biking or have been
intimidated about trying a climb, come out Thursday and give it a
shot! If you're willing to try, we'll do everything we can to make
sure you get there!
Remember to bring a helmet, water bottle and spare tube.
Also please make sure your bike is in good mechanical condition
including properly inflated tires.
Thanks,
Boulder Cycling Club
