| 21st Annual Frozen Waterbottle Ride |
On New Year's Day 2007 eight hearty riders met at Acacia Park for the Club's 21st Annual Frozen Waterbottle Ride. The ride proceeded west on Bijou Street crossing the old Bijou Street Bridge for the final club ride across the old bridge. Then north on Spruce and Mesa Road to the Garden of Gods Overlook and onto the bike path along Mesa & 30th Street to Centennial Blvd and south through Holland Park and returning to Acacia Park via Chestnut Street and Recreation way.
The riders stopped on the Bijou Street Bridge for a final photo before encountering some large snow drifts along the Mesa bikeway. Once back downtown everyone headed to Pikes Perk for snacks and hot coffee drinks. Click here for some photos of the final winter storm of 2006 abbreviated edition of the Frozen Waterbottle Ride.
This ride was lead by Bob & Anne Smith on their mountain bike tandem.

Allen Beauchamp is planning a repeat of last year's Balloon Classic Rendezvous Ride for Monday, September 4th (Labor Day). Allen is looking for folks willing to lead CSCC members from different starting locations around the Springs to rendezvous at Memorial Park at ~6:45 a.m. near Prospect Lake & the Aquatics Center to experience the sunrise lift off in the park. Once the balloons are off then everyone will ride to a restaurant for breakfast. Currently, there will be rides leaving at ~5:45 a.m. from Marigold's Cafe, Ted's Bicycles and Starbucks on West Colorado Ave. Allen is still looking for someone to lead rides in from the northeastern, eastern and southern parts of the city. Click here to email Allen or phone him at 266.8331 or 351.3205 if you'd like to volunteer to lead a group from neighborhood or for more details.

Ride Start Time Reminder: The times listed on our events calendar are ride departure times not your arrival time at the starting location. Riders need to plan to arrive at the start location 15 minutes before the time listed on the calendar. This should give you plenty time to get ready to ride, sign the sign-in sheet and listen to the route review from the ride leader. Be considerate of others and arrive on time so rides can start on time. Do not blame the ride leader if a particular ride is gone when you arrive late.

Welcome to the Colorado Springs Cycling Club's homepage.
On Saturday, October 8th Keith Kolb led a group of eight riders for an "impromptu" ride around Rampart Reservoir. The aspens were gorgeous and the weather was perfect. To quote Stan Hill, "what a great finish, just before the first snowfall!" |
