Tuesday 9/15 @ 5:40pm Simsbury CP Ride - Last Ride of the Season!

This is the final ride for us this year, and we are going to depart early, 5:40pm leaving time to ensure we have full daylight. I have a well rounded ride of 19mi and 1500ft of climb with a good steady climb up RT-219 and then a second climb up High Valley drive. Weather looks good for this week, see everyone for the final ride!

  • Right out the lot, right Hedgehog, left Lenora, left Old Farms, right Holcomb, turns to Barndoor Hills, left Simsbury rd to the end (Regroup)
  • Left on RT-20, left on RT-219, climb to top of Case and meet at Edgerton road (Regroup)
  • Descent Case, past RT-309 to left on High Valley, left Andrews, right on RT-309 (Caution for sharp left turn!) and return to start

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.

5:40? Let me guess, you went to one of those Time Management seminars where they tell you to start your meetings at odd times like 9:17 am, so that everyone is on time.
