Prepare with a training series specifically designed for RAMROD.
This series was created to assist riders in their preparation for RAMROD. The self paced rides will be held every Saturday starting on 4.13.13 to 7.20.13 (except for 7.6.13). The routes will increase in distance and elevation every two weeks. Starting locations will rotate every week or every two weeks with a new route used each week.
All riders are welcome, but note, this ride does not regroup nor does it have a sweep. The routes are designed for the experienced rider who is comfortable following cue sheets and riding independently. We stress safe and cooperative riding.
Weather - The decision to ride or cancel will be made from the starting location. Ride leaders will always be at the start of the ride. If the ride is officially canceled, cue sheets will still be available for those hearty souls that wish to train in any condition. Also, routes may be altered or shortened due to weather conditions.
