Ring & Ride in the New Year

Is there a better way to start the new year than with a long bike ride? Possibly not. We’re letting you sleep in and then we’re hosting a New Year’s Day ride.

We’ll meet up at the Ride Studio Cafe at 11 am, then ride a little over 50 miles, it will be an intermediate ride. When we know the route, we’ll update this page. Check back here for updates, also, in case of inclement weather.

 

 

 

Details

Pace:

Average ~17 mph. Intermediate & fun. We will re-group periodically so no one gets lost.

Route:

The route is a little over 50 miles, with a few places where it’s easy to head straight back to the Studio to make it a little shorter. Route map, cue sheet, GPS file.

What to bring:

  • Items that too often seem to get left at home:
    • Helmet
    • Riding shoes
    • I.D.
  • Appropriate clothes for changing temperatures.  The difference between the beginning of the ride and end of the ride can be 10-15 degrees.  Be prepared.
  • Tool kit including at least one appropriate tube.  A good toolkit includes:  at least one tube, two tire levers, CO2 cartridge or frame pump, CO2 inflator, patch kit, and multi-tool that includes the basic five tools.  While we won’t leave you behind if you get a flat or mechanical, it is good form to have the tools with you.
  • If the roads are wet put on a back fender that covers enough of your rear wheel so that no one has to eat liquified road grit!

Don’t forget that if you’d like any mechanical help, or service of any kind before the ride, send us an email and we’ll gladly be at the Studio early to help with anything you need on the fly.

Waiver: RSC requires a signed waiver before your first ride.  We will  have waivers at the Studio for you to complete and sign, and you can review a copy of our waiver here.

Parking:  If you’re driving to participate in the ride, make sure that you do not park in the Lemon Grass restaurant parking lot; you will get towed.  Fortunately, there is a ton of parking in the area–and it is really inexpensive.

By the way, here’s where you can find our comprehensive list of weekly rides.

Email us with questions concerning this ride. We hope you’ll join us!
