Hi everyone, just moved back to COS after a short absence and I'm curious about different group rides in town. I know about the Sunday rides that meet at Acacia Park, but are there any other rides that meet during the week or on Saturdays? Anyone have any suggestions about which rides to attend/can't miss? Hoping to get in some time on the bike before the weather gets too cold. Thanks!

Check out http://peakregioncyclist.com for a more comprehensive calendar.
I just wrapped up a Friday evening ride series from Cafe Velo and will pick those back up in the spring when we have more daylight after work.
Welcome back to the Springs!!
Cheers,
Nicole

Ondo on September 30, 2012 at 8:33pm Coach Drummer, no problemo, IF we lived a lot closer, (ie: we don't own a car), I'd try to make your Friday night rides during the summer months! LOL, although as a "utility/recreation" rider, I may have to make a "auto bungie cord" launcher to hook on to someone! Have a most excellent day! :)

Hope you are able to make it up for a ride eventually. But I understand this town is big enough if you are commuting by bike, some places are just kind of far away!
