All four rides start at 1:00pm: there is nothing like kicking off from work a bit early to go out for a ride.
"What Goes Up Must Come Down" is a 55 miles loop with some serious climbing - but what goes up must come down:) This, like all of the rides, is a no-drop event with multiple regrouping points. The average speed will be between 16-18mph.
"A Little Dust Never Hurt Anyone" is a 44 mile gravel ride using the Boulder Roubaix course (two laps). Some of us might get lapped, but we won't get left behind. Expect the average speed to be 15-17mph.
"Michael Carter's Version of Heaven, Eric's Version of Hell" is a quintessential Michael Carter ride, lots of climbing. He will likely stand in the pedals for large portions of the ride. While he might ride at the head of the pack, he will never leave you behind. Expect an average speed of 16-18mph.
"I'll Drink To That" is a ride for anyone who wants to enjoy the sites as much as the effort. Roll your way through 44 miles of ups, downs, and long, flat stretches. This ride will be 14-16mph and is a perfect way to end the week.
These are the items that everyone has a chance of winning. Of course, the more you give/get, the better your chance of winning.
