Description: Hey GIVE UP - Do you want to go to a baseball game? We have a section reserved at the Pirates game Sunday June 22 @ 1:35pm. Our seats are in the shade. It's the day before my birthday. Tickets are $48 bucks a piece. Text me if you're in before Friday: 412.616.4937. You don't even have to send money yet, just tell me if you're in.
I recognize this was an unconventional way to start a ride description, but I'm juggling like half a dozen different GIVE UP things I'm trying to organize and figured I could get some strategic SYNERGY going between events here. Like our BikeMS team has a pizza party at 6:30pm Thursday evening at East End in Larimer, and now you know that, too.
This week's route is a lil flatter than usual given that our BikeMS team is also biking from Moraine to Lake Erie this week for BikeMS: Escape to the Lake 2025. A lot of the mixup crowd is on our BikeMS team and I figured I'd give them a break. Sorry if you wanted spicy but I'm trying to keep folks out of Beth's SAG van due to fatigue as much as possible this weekend.
Anyway, this should be a good time. We're going to meet at the spooky old jail end of the north shore trail at 6:20 and roll at 6:30. I bought a new road bike and would like to take it up to the observatory with all of my friends, so we're going to do that. Then we'll do a little scooting around the east end and eventually come back to the spooky old jail.
You should bring a bike to this ride, along with blinky lights, helmet, water, snacks, good luck, and positive vibes. At the very least bring the bike, blinky lights, helmet, and water
In the event of bad weather we may cancel. I'll make the call at 5:30 tomorrow if the weather looks bad. Please RSVP on Strava for notifications on cancelations

Speed: Probably average 11-12 mph overall. Will wait at the top of any hills because I'm a bro like that.

Description: This is a more intermediate ride for people more comfortable with roads. Routes will be mostly roads, though we might kiss the odd trail here and there for a few minutes if that's the best connector. I'm not going to take us into any super high traffic areas, but we're going to see cars. We'll hit some hills but I'll try to keep them moderate. And yes, we'll wait at the top of hills. Lights and helmet suggested because we'll be on roads. I'll try to keep these rides as unsketchy as possible.
Bring plenty of water and maybe some snacks. Helmet highly suggested because we'll be on roads.
Feel free to invite people who can bike
We probably will not do this ride if it is raining at 6pm on any given Wednesday.
