Boulder-Denver Cycling Group Rides

The Gateway ride has been rolling since Jan on Saturdays weather permitting. Smaller groups when its below 30 degrees. I seem to remember Sundays last year going too but not till March. Much smaller on Sunday but still good especially if Saturday was bad weather. For new riders: it rolls with a strong but reasonable pace line to Lyons and usually picks up a bit to 75th. Informal potty break after the turn then lights out all the way to Carter for a regroup. Then down the backside. Pretty intense on the way back surprisingly.

does gateway go on Sundays?

Is the gateway ride going yet?

Hello. Showed up for the weekly CX workout at Amante's coffee in North Boulder on Broadway, for the first time, at 7:00 this morning, and nobody was there. Does anyone know if the ride still happening? I've heard it is an excellent opportunity for a great workout, but I have also heard it may have gotten too big for it's own good, and doesn't take place anymore. Maybe I was at the wrong place, or there at the wrong time? Any information would be greatly appreciated. My current work schedule doesn't allow me to get together my normal evening group and I would love to find a group that gets to together in the mornings. Would anyone be interested in creating a, or know of an already existing, similar early morning group CX training ride in the Denver area?

Thanks.

I'm new to town, is there a weekly training crit anywhere in Boulder during the week? What's the best option for a fast weekly group ride?

Anyone know when the Bustop ride starts up again?

What day and time for Frank's ride?

Hi, I've been riding north east of Denver lately, man, what a treasure! LOTS of roads, lots of DIRT roads, very light traffic. I'm convinced some of those small rural county roads go to Kansas. Are any of you riding out this way...in particular east of Ft. Lupton. It's taking me some time to "map out" as the terrain is so vast. When I look at the popular mapping sites, they don't give much useful info. Any feedback appreciated! Thanks.

Note about that picture. I may be mistaken, but I believe that that picture is from an SI diary. It is the bustop ride exting Boulder. The girl up front wanted to make the olympic team in 2008 in a sport and she decided that she would do it in cycling. SI was to do a series on her attempt and I only read a couple of the entries. Note, this was about 12 months before trials. She moved to Nederland to train at altitude but often came down to Boulder to ride with groups. She knew that they were going to take this picture and this is the ONLY time that she was near the front.....or even with the group. There was another girl on the ride that night, one that is a regular and quite capable of staying with the main field.

I found the SI girl to be overly confident, naive and the series was short lived.

I don't have all the details but maybe someone can fill in the gaps
