Hello Cyclist.
The rain is good for vegetation but not so great for riding. A few rides have been rained on and some have been canceled due to weather and surface conditions. Even a section of North Cheyenne Canyon road has been damaged by the all this rain causing it to close. Stay safe and dry out there.
Speaking of rain cancelations, the Adopt-A-Trail clean up scheduled this evening has been rescheduled to next Thursday, 12 June.
Our usual rides are on tap for week ahead. Please note, the Tuesday Morning Gravel Ride and the Wednesday Morning Ride are both moving start times to 9:00AM.
This week, we’ll have another social mixer at South Park Brewing. There are two event links below. One is if you want to do a short ride that starts at 5:45. After the ride, enjoy some food and beverage and hang out with fellow club members. The other link is if you just want to come for the food and beverage which starts at 6:30PM but you are more than welcome to come earlier if you wish. If you do come for the ride, it is requested to park along Sheldon Ave.

And now for some tidbits:
Join our private Strava club https://www.strava.com/clubs/colorado-springs-cycling-club It’s a great way to see and encourage your fellow club mates.
We need ride leaders. Email Sara Hill at sleonahill@yahoo.com if you would like more information.
As a reminder, if you are going to attend one of our club rides or events, please sign up on Meet Up. This lets the ride leader or event creator know of your intent to participate and if you are running late, the ride leader may, at their discretion, wait for you and or try to contact you before the ride starts. Also, if the ride is canceled due to unforeseen circumstances at the last minute, the ride leader can reach out to the individual participants to let them know. Finally, if no one has registered for a ride by 8 PM the night before, the ride may likely become a “show and go.”
With the uncertain weather pattern of the season, a ride may become a "show and go” or canceled. The ride leader will update the Meetup event. The group that shows then agrees where to go together. Be prepared with a sign-in sheet. Instructions for where to send the sign-in sheet after the ride are at the bottom of the sign-in sheet.
Thanks for reading.
