Ride hard,
ride right
These mountains give us empty roads, long descents, and small towns that wave back. Keeping it that way is on all of us.
The rules we ride by
Hold your line
Ride predictably, call hazards, point the potholes. Two abreast where legal, single-file when traffic needs by.
Descend in control
Mountain descents are earned, not raced. Gaps open, speed is yours to choose, and we regroup at the bottom.
Small-town manners
Wave, yield, keep the paceline off Main Street. Slow way down for horses, walkers, and gravel driveways.
Check conditions
Fog, frost, and fast storms are features here. Check the Conditions page before every ride; leaders make a weather call by 7 AM.
Ride self-sufficient
Cell service is a rumor in the hollows. Load the route offline and carry what you'd need to fix a flat alone.
Helmets, lights, ID
Helmet every ride. Daytime lights on open roads. ID and an emergency contact on you.
Cycling carries inherent risk. You ride at your own risk and are responsible for your own safety, equipment, and decisions.
Ride invites go out by email
Weekend rides, event news, road and weather calls. A few emails a month, written by people who ride here.
