THIS WEEK’S RIDES


Karl is looking for input for a "Special" Saturday ride start location.
Please Pick at least one.

Whether you live in the area or are just visiting Boise and looking for a group to ride with, we'd love to have you join us on any of our rides! Most of our weekly rides typically run from April through September. Saturday rides run all year (weather dependent).

Please see Weekly Ride Descriptions link for a description of each ride regarding distances and average mph pace.

Tuesday Hill Climb:  Tuesday 5/30:   6 PM from Lulu's . The Route will be a standard Dump loop. Weather permitting, chance of thunderstorms later this afternoon.  See you all there. Ride On!

Wednesday MTB Ride: Weekly mountain bike rides are in full swing.  Join us each Wednesday for a fun, no-drop ride.  Starting location, distance and details about each week's ride, and any updates, are communicated via the Mountain Bike forum, forum email and on our Facebook page. Hope to see you on the next ride.


Thursday Night Social Ride:
 6/1 wheels rolling at 6pm from Wepa Puerto Rican Cafe 175 E 35th St Garden City. 16-17mph pace on the flats. As always, food and social time after the ride. Route: https://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/5535853246

Saturday Ride: Weekly – Lulu's Pizza (2594 N Bogus Basin Rd) – 10:00 am start Oct - April, 9:00 am start May and Sept, 8:00 am June - Aug. Weather dependent, potential cancellations are communicated via forum email.

NEW MODERATE PACED SATURDAY TRAINING RIDE

Lactic Acid Cycling will start hosting a new moderate paced Saturday training ride, in addition to our traditional faster paced Saturday ride.


The ride’s initial provisions/conditions

  • Safety (read our Mission Statement on the LAC website)
  • No drop
  • Pace – 16 to 18 mph in a group, on level ground with neutral wind.  If you can’t maintain this pace, you’ve got a few weeks to improve your fitness.
  • Distance – 35 miles+
  • Start time – 15 minutes after the faster traditional ride. 
  • Start point – LuLu’s, most of the time but we could occasionally have different start points

 

 Karl will continue to lead the traditional faster ride and it will stay pretty much the same.

  • It will still be no drop
  • Pace will still be 18 to 22 mph.  We’re not going to speed up and leave the moderate ride to sweep up our blown-up riders.
  • We will leave on time.  Since the moderate ride is leaving only 15 minutes behind, we can’t wait for late folks.  Be there and ready to ride on the hour.

We’re hoping this better meets our member needs, so give us feedback.
