It seemed like just yesterday we kicked-off the first group ride event some three years ago. Little more than a few guys seeking solace that only a fast-paced, tightly bunched twine of spandex and carbon could provide, the first year was merely a test of sorts.
In 2010, the group grew to over 16 registered cyclists from around the Broomfield Colorado area. The rides consisted of Saturday and Sunday rides starting in early April and ending with a century ride in October from Broomfield to Horse-tooth Canyon near Fort Collins. Clad in fresh CogSnob kits, our suburban, weekend warriors from Broomfield consistently garnered a small group of 5 to 6 riders each weekend with routes in both the foothills and the flats.
As the 2011 season kicks-off, the pre-registration numbers have grown to over 30 riders--all ready to ditch the trainers and hit the roads of northern Denver. As in previous years, the CogSnob Club Ride, has secured the following sponsors for the upcoming season: Golden Bear Bikes, MapMyRide.com, and Panache Cyclewear based in Boulder, Colorado.
If you would like to join the club ride, feel free to sign-up here. To highlight the fact that we are all severely out of shape, we are hosting our annual "Spring Pre-Bonk" gathering to usher-in the 2011 season. Click here for the details.
Happy riding everyone!
