Sprint ride morphs into MCC Saturday Morning ride for rest of season!

Saturday Morning Sprint RideDon’t hang your bike up for the season yet!

Starting Saturday October 14th there is a new MCC ride starting.

This group ride will be leaving from in front of Velo City at 9 am for a 25 – 40 mile spin (length dependent upon weather) .  As of now the planned route will be the MCC Monday evening ride ridden in reverse.  One of the reasons for starting in town is having the option to have coffee or hot chocolate at one of the fine downtown establishments upon the completion of the ride.  This is not the sprint ride but a new MCC group ride where no one gets dropped. There might be an “A” and “B” group but this will be dependent upon the turn out.

Many thanks to Mayor Mike Clark for supporting MCC in this endeavor.  The sprint ride will return next spring at its usual place and usual time.
