Rides This Week

Week of May 20
Always check the BCC calendar before you go and the Ride Cancellation Policy if the weather is questionable.

The spring weather has been really varied, so remember that there is no official groupride if the road is wet, the Accuweather.com RealFeel temperature is 35 degrees or less, or wind gusts of over 50 mph are forecast. Those willing to brave the elements and attendant risks can still go and ride with whoever shows up. Weeknight rides all leave at 5:30 pm, and the Saturday ride leaves at 10 am.

___________________________________________________________

The Boulder Cycling Club is a non-profit organization managed by volunteers. Our mission is to create a more livable community by promoting health & recreation through bicycle activities, advocacy, & education. The BCC provides a safe and social alternative to the competitive riding style of most clubs. We are more about fun than competition. Our rides are no-drop tours that leave you time to look at the scenery and chat a bit.
