  • FasCat Coaching - Cat 3/4 Group Ride Find on map

    From Frank Overton: We are hoping to make it a regular thing and a better resource for cat 3, 4 & collegiate cyclists that something like the P1/2 Bus Stop. It will be a coach led ride and open to everyone. We’ll “race” to the tops of the climbs, go hard and work on strategy BUT we’ll regroup at the tops, chat and then ride down together before “racing” back up the next climb. And we’ll change up the routes week to week for variety. But we’ll try to use the climbs for intensity. Ride is Tuesdays at 5:30PM.

  • Boulder Networking Ride Find on map

    Fun, Wednesday early morning (6:30am) ride which always heads north to Jamestown or Hygenie or somewhere in between. The ride is usually mild but near the end or entry to Jamestown for some the pace really picks up. Ride returns to Amante where a sponsors purchases coffee and pastries for all the riders. Ride stops in Oct due to light limitations. Learn more

  • Wednesday Worlds ride Cyclocross only and fall only ride which meets at 7am at Amante in North Boulder and usually heads to the Elks lodge for 1 hr of intense cyclocross training. Given the shortness of the course there really isn't "being dropped" so all are welcome to join regardless of skill or fitness.
  • Pearl Izumi, Louisville Colorado. Find on mapMeet at the Peal Izumi head quarters around 12:15 nearly every weekday with 10-ish other riders for a moderate pace covering routes around Louisville and into Boulder.
  • Bustop Ride Tuesdays and Thursday at 5:00 pm. Find on map, this ride historically has problems and does not practice Conscious Cycling
  • Boulder Cycling Club
    We depart from Boulder Beer on Tuesday evenings and Bacaro on Thursday evenings. We're a non competitive group with a no drop policy on all of our rides. Typically about 25-30 miles. We now have a women only ride which departs from Boulder Beer at the same time on Tuesdays. Departure time changes with the sun, our calendar is updated weekly.

Once we have gathered enough information a new page on our site will be created to allow you to stay up to date on rides you could do.

Wednesday morning ride from Amante NoBo, usually leaves at 6 or 6:15, out to Fruit Loops, or swing through Hygiene, or up to Jamestown. Moderate outbound then picks up steam with a full throttle finish back to Amante. Someone else may submit better details.

Note about that picture. I

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.

Loops is a Tuesday night bike ride through out central Denver. The ride covers approximately 15 to 20 miles and makes 3 to 4 stops along the way. Riders are encouraged to ride at their own pace and meet at the stops that are posted on this blog the day of the ride. The ride meets every Tuesday night at Crema Coffee House (29th & Larimer) Come out and ride with us, make friends, and have a good time.

Riding N/E of Denver - good stuff!

Submitted by Thomas (not verified) on

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.
