SOCO Velo Saturday Ride (longer base miles)

Please come out and join the club on a hilly 53 mile ride (3,500ft of climbing).  We consider this an intermediate ride due to the climbing, but it will still be a no-drop ride.  Route will start at Red Leg Brewery (please park in the gravel lot if you are driving to the start) and climb up Blodgett.  From there we will work our way over to the USAF Academy (you will need your driver's license to enter) where we will ride a lap around the base before exiting the North gate.  After some more hills through Briargate, we will work our way back down into Colorado Springs to the Sante Fe and then Sinton trails back to Red Leg.  
As a reminder, park in the gravel lot, bring a valid ID and show up approximately 15 minutes early as this ride will leave on time.
