  • Mid-week training (Wednesdays, 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm) - Our mid-week training will remain on Wednesdays, although we know that is not ideal for everyone. Hopefully many of you can join us at least every now and then.

  • Two options in July:

    1. Endurance training, 3:30- 6:30: Starting Wednesday July 2 (and leading up to the Mt Evans race): Start riding at 3:30 pm from the usual spot at Morrison and Rooney Rds. Ride Bear Creek Canyon to Kerr Gulch Rd to Evergreen Parkway and over and down to the base of Lookout. Join the others there for a ride back up Lookout, and then head back to Morrison.

    2. Standard training, 5:30 pm, Meet at the base of Lookout ready to ride by 5:30pm. Ride a TT- pace or intervals up to the top, and repeat this two times.  Leaders are Brian France and/or Robin Waterman.      Triple Bypass 2008 was great!

  • Check the TER website for last minute updates on any training rides.

 
   Road Training       ( email contact road racing directors Robin Waterman or Chris Porter)  
 

  • Weekend training:

    Saturdays: Many ride leaders are racing during the summer, so most Saturday rides will be "show and go" until August. This means that everyone should feel free to show up at Morrison and Rooney Rds, ready to ride by 9 am. Whoever is there can choose the route.

    Sundays: There is always a ride organized by the Team Evergreen Club. All TER racers should consider joining in on these rides, as their training and racing schedule permits. Route and start times are listed on the TE website.

  • Boulder training ride - "Sunday Morning Fruit Loops" - coming in early August. Leaving from Downtown Boulder at the corner of 18th and Pearl Street in front of Full Cycle Bikes, we will head North on HWY 36 to Lyons, do a little scenic loop in Lyons, then head East for another loop of some farmland, and head back into boulder on N 75th Street. Total Distance is about 50 miles. Information?  Contact Jimmy Walter

  
   Cyclocross       ( email contact cyclocross director Brian France  
 

  • How is everyone enjoying the pre-season? Pre-season you say? That is right, pre-season to the most fun you will have on a bike. Cyclocross season. There are 64 days to the first race (Sept 13th). It is time to get your head in the game. We will be putting on a skills clinic to teach and refresh folks on the finer details of getting off and on your bike quickly. Look for that event in August. A cross bike is not a requirement, a mountain bike will do, however now is the time to be looking on CraigsList. Contact Brian France for info or with suggestions to make this a great season.

 
   Volunteer      ( email contact volunteer director Chris Brockmeier)  

  • Bear Creek Time Trial in September - Please contact Alan Boisvert aboisver@co.jefferson.co.us  if you would like to earn some volunteer credit helping out with this COBRAS sponsored race. You would work the first half of the race as a course marshall then race free the second half. The same person would need to do it all four weeks since the start list doesn't change, meaning you can't switch your number with someone else.  Volunteers  Race Flyer
