Ride Reports

SoCo Velo riders love to support the Hanover Fire Dept monthly breakfasts (on the second Sunday of the month, year round)! What started as a chilly morning turned into a nice day! Great group of friends: Holly Rysewyk, Terry Lyons, Emily Batson, Gary Eddy, Brian Gaddy, Jon Rose, and Tricia Patrick. 40 miles with about 1,200 feet of climbing. Happy Mother's Day!

Great ride with a fun group! Holly Rysewyk, Gaer Sandager, LeeAnn Perea, Gary Eddy, Chris Lange, Kris Lemond, and Tricia Patrick. This was an out and back ride that started in Palmer Lake, headed through Greenland, and took the gravel roads to Castlewood Canyon State Park. 50 miles with about 2,800 feet of climbing. Awesome day of riding! 

Perfect day out in the country. Great ride, good company. 

Great group ride with Tom Patrick, Riley Richter, Chris Lange, Holly Rysewyk, Oscar Camelo, Julia Tomsen, Isabel Renfroe, and Tricia Patrick. After cycling through Garden of the Gods, Manitou, and Old Colorado City, we stopped to enjoy some food and drink at Building lll Coffee. 26 miles with 1,500 feet elevation gain. Great day!

Great turnout on a beautiful day! SoCo Velo, Colorado Springs Cycling, and Buffalo Lodge all had the same idea! We merged for a large (40+) group ride and breakfast at the Hanover Fire Department's monthly event!

Great ride today with a fun group! Tricia & Tom Patrick, Holly Rysewyk, Christine Lange, Brett Schubert, Chris & Kelly Florek, Mark Greenberg, Patrick Taylor, Ricky Evans, Arjim Auto, Josh Nieves, and Ron Puertollano. We started at the Greenland Trailhead and rode the gravel roads east to The Naked Goat Cafe in Elbert. Their bumbleberry pie is amazing! 48 miles with 3,000 feet of climbing.

A few brave souls were rewarded with an exceptional coffee break midway through our gravel ride. Another perfect day to get out on the bike. 

Perfect weather for a New Year's Day ride. Fun group and a good ride all around.

We tried to just eat but the sun gods called us out to ride afterwards. Beautiful brisk day with a really fun group. 

Another beautiful Saturday for a ride. Good group and good times.
