Wednesday Nighter

UPDATED: 4/19/2009

Every Wednesday we'll be meeting at the C.W. Moore Park 150 S 5th St. Boise Grove (8th and Main St. by the fountain), at 6:30pm sharp. We usually leave as a group at 6:35 or 6:40. The ride is the same every week and we'll try to keep track of times in the future. The map below shows the recommended route, but the main intent is to get people out to Hill road then 36th st and do some climbing on your fixies to get over to Cartwright Rd. The finish is Harry's in hyde park for water, brew and food if you're hungry; You will be.

Google maps claims this route will take about 32 31 minutes in a car. The current fastest time is just under 32 minutes and I guarantee this will go below 30 very soon. Any bicycle can be used for the loop but record times will only be considered by fixed gears (breaks are okay). You'll need a decent gear for Hill road and Cartwright, but the climbs can be steep so I don't recommend bigger than 75 inches; 49x18 is pretty good, maybe a little big.

This is a "drop" ride which means the group will slowly breakup as the pace wears riders down. We'll all meet up at Harry's though, so just be safe if you're by your lonesome. For that matter be safe no matter what; The connecting road to Cartwright is largely hidden and has two gates to navigate around. The later of which is an almost invisible wire at the end of a downhill. Control your speed here.

DISCLAIMER: Riding bicycles IS dangerous and can be fatal. Be careful and take responsibility for your actions. Assume that every car, rider, and tree are trying to take you out at every turn.

See you on Wednesday!
