  • 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.

Gateway ride

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.

Denver Ride

We have a saturday ride that leaves every week from Rocky Mountain Lake Park (47th and Federal). The start time varies from 8AM to 10:30AM depending on the time of year, weather and consensus of the group. We have a group on facebook for called "Bike Colorado" which is an open group if anyone is interested in joining.
