The Classic Wednesday Night Ride continues through the fall and winter with a twist. The ride changes gears to cyclocross and mountain bikes pedaling on gravel roads, alleyways and singletrack. Meeting at the entrance of Patrick Henry High School, the route will be determined by who shows up on what type of bike, but the concept will stay the same - have fun riding at night! The speed and length is off-season training, but not the structured hard training found on the Classic Loop - let's leave the pain and suffering for the warm months. Being that this will be held at night, real bicycle lights are mandatory that will burn for at least 1.5-2 hours. Real lights are halogen or halide light systems with a rechargeable battery pack, basically, enough light so you can see where you're going! Also, you will need a taillight since we will be on the road. Please fill out the individual RCO Release Waiver and bring it to the ride - this only has to be signed once for the calendar year or if you're already a member! Not a member? Join now! Questions? Email ride leader or call (540) 580-7284 |

Even though there is extra daylight, it is still not enough for the 38 mile Long Days Loop starting. Therefore, the month of April hosts the Short Days Loop, which is a quick run over to Garden City as a warm-up to then start the five-mile loop. The ride starts with two new times, one at 5:15pm and the other 5:45pm. The 5.4 mile loop rolls mostly downhill on Bandy Rd, with some twisty turns and a few short uphill jaunts. Mayland Rd climbs to Yellow Mountain Road which continues uphill for another half mile. Cruise on back to Goodman to start another lap! Complete as many loops as daylight dishes out, and plan enough time to get home - a tail light is recommended or lights. The pace is ultra-fast, but all are welcomed to ride at their own pace. Don't worry about getting dropped, the pack will come around again! Ride leader: ; (540) 580-7284 |
