I received a lot of positive feedback regarding last weeks route both as a good training ride and as a fun tour of Durango. The weather for this weekend is calling for some warmth, some clouds and some wind, in other words it might be nice or it might turn nasty. So, let’s stay low and close to town and do the same ride as last week. If you plan to join us tomorrow, please read the section about regroups during the ride. Hope to see some of you tomorrow! -Spencer

REGROUPS: THREE MINUTE regroups at top of EACH CLIMB, BIG REGROUP at end of La Posta (nature break…). *If you get to the top first, yeah you won! Now you can either wait for THREE WHOLE MINUTES or go back down and ride up again with someone who is riding slower. This is a group ride – not a training-race!
