hello you gorgeous goofballs. here's may 13:

What: GIVE UP Dealer's Choice Mondays

When: may 13 2024

Time: Show up at 6:20, ride at 6:30

Distance / Elevation: about 14 miles / 1,000 feet of elevation

Strava link / Route: https://www.strava.com/clubs/1039130/group_events/1655490

Description: Hello all, Furda here to tell you about my first Dealer’s Choice ride! This 14 mile route has a few climbs on a mix of trail and roads for about 920’ of elevation (or 1026’ if you’d like to attempt the full Stafford Segment). We’ll meet up at the fountain in Point State Park and make our way over to the McKees Rocks Bridge, dropping into the Rocks for some light gravel action before climbing through Sheraden on Stafford. From there we’ll head up for a break at the West End Overlook (my favorite view of the city) and down through the West End and back to the start.

The forecast looks great for the ride which I’d rate around a 6 for hill spiciness and a 7 for a little West Carson road spiciness. It looks to be roughly 1.5h ride and we’ll absolutely wait at the top of the climbs. Meet up at 6:20pm and roll around 6:30. Bring a helmet, water, your climbing legs, a light, and some of those well deserved snacks we’re always on about!

GENERAL RIDE INFORMATION:

What: GIVE UP Dealer's Choice Mondays

When: 2nd, 4th, and potentially 5th mondays of the month? (1st and 3rd mondays are other rides)

Time: Show up at 6:20, ride at 6:30

Distance: 15-20 miles, approximately.

Starting Point / Route: Will change every week.  Dealer's choice.  Sometimes the routes will be hilly, sometimes they'll be flat, sometimes they'll be somewhere in between.  Routes will be posted about a week before the ride.

Pace: None of the GIVE UP rides are particularly fast, but we'll set pace / level with the routes each week.

Bring: Water, snacks, helmet, lights, sense of adventure

Description: This ride is going to be the least consistent of all of the GIVE UP regular group rides.  Sometimes they might be easy, sometimes they might be hard.  Really up to how we're feeling when we plan it.  We'll rotate start points to keep things fresh and try not to repeat routes too often.

Bring plenty of water and maybe some snacks.  Helmet highly suggested because we'll be on roads.

Feel free to invite people who can bike

We probably will not do this ride if it is raining at 6pm on any given Monday
