PACE: This is a "Club Pace" ride (generally averaging 15-17 mph) - Route varies weekly, exploring areas west, north, and east of Simsbury. Rides generally alternate between hilly & flat. Regroups always occur at key points, certainly at the tops of climbs. This Ride's is considered "Progressive" where each week the speed and climb increase as riders improve and we chase maximum daylight, however; always staying within the advertised club pace and regrouping.
PLEASE NOTE: Starting in 2015, The group may split based on number of riders. Helmets are required, an emergency headlight is recommended as we chase the daylight. Headphones/ear buds are not allowed. Non-members must sign waiver in order to ride, Minors require adult signature.
All, I'm going to CANCEL tonight's ride. it was 103 coming home, feels like is running a solid 10 degrees more than actual and a few people have reached out that they are going to skip the ride. I'll plan to roll this ride to next week and doing a 5:40pm start since there's so little daylight. I know that's hard for some folks, but 1:03 of daylight doesn't make for much of a ride.
Stay cool!
Sure didn't feel cancelled! :)
Hi, I agree with Christian's decision, but will be in Vermont working my first day at Stratton mountain next Tuesday so won't be able ride. I thank Christian, John, Steve and all those rode on Tuesdays and helped make the Tuesdays rides great this season. Sincerely, Michael (aka red Mike)
Congrats and good luck in the new venture! I've enjoyed skiing and riding with you!

Do some riding on those big hills in Vermont! Hope all goes well!
Hi Mike, congratulations! I'm sure you'll enjoy it, and won't miss the long car rides to VT. Tom Q.
