Summer is in full swing the Tour is heating up —way to go to Boulder’s own home town team and esp. Christian Vandevelde!!!

A breakdown for what’s on tap in the coming week:

Tonight – Tuesday July 15!

Tuesday Road Bike Ride
Ride Leader Patrick. An Intermediate social road bike ride out of Boulder Brewery meeting at 5:30 PM.  Average pace is 15-18 mph–may be a little faster depending on group.  Approximate distance is 25-30 miles primarily on low traffic streets. Will return to Boulder Brewery by 8:00 M. After the ride enjoy something to eat and/or drink.  This is a no drop ride, meaning we will wait up for you.  Please make sure your bike is in good mechanical condition (including properly inflated tires).  Remember to brink your helmet, spare tube, and water bottle.  This is a great ride  if you are relatively new to road biking or just want to get a little exercise and socialize after a long day.

Tuesday Trail Ride

The rest of the group will turn around and cruise back to Boulder Brewery. Average speed 6 to 8 mph distance 10 to 15 miles. Meet up afterwards to have a beverage and food on the patio  at the Boulder Brewery.
