What’s happening . . .

The Sensible Winter Ride takes place each Thursday at 11:00 am. Location is Luca's Pizzeria 8850 Holly Ave.

This is a traditional club ride that has occurred for the last 10 years or more. It is an interval workout where you go up a steeper stretch and then go down awhile. This goes on for 25 miles.

The ride will not take place on December 26th. I have an email list that I send notices to about the upcoming ride. If you would like to be added (or removed), you can reach me at will.c.ferrell at gmail.com. There are "worm holes" that shorten the ride and cut out some of the climbing for those looking for less.

Stay in shape this winter. See you this Thursday.

Will return in February

Rio Bravo between 2nd and the turn for the Chavez loop is all torn up, including the bike trail. There is no room for bikes between the construction and the traffic.

For now the Chavez Loop as a whole isn’t rideable; cyclists will need to do an out and back as far as I can tell. The road worker that I spoke to wasn’t aware of any future plans to add a bike lane, and it doesn’t look possible for now.

No idea how long the work will take to complete.
