SUMMARY:Backcountry Bike Casual Road Bike Friday\, Sept 4th
DESCRIPTION:Backcountry Bike Casual Road Bike Friday\, Sept 4th \nTLDR:Starts at Backcountry Bike and Ski in Palmer. 6:15 departure timeRoute: Lollipop based on the Glenn bike path. 14.5mi. https://strava.app.link/c80lOGIz25b Pace: 12-15mph on drop bar bikes.Waivers: need to be signed if you haven’t recently\, and are inside at the main counter \n~~~~~~~~~~~ \nOnly a couple Friday rides left! After October\, the daylight hours will be getting a bit short and we would be finishing the rides after dark…not doing that\, although nighttime riding can be fun\, especially with a full moon to view. \nBecause the fair is still going\, Springer System is still off limits\, but I’ve put together a route which should be just fine. And we can wave at the people stuck in fair traffic from a separated bike path. \nEssentially\, we will do an out and back on the Glenn Bike path\, starting by going up Bogard and crossing at Felton. On the way back\, we will do a nice little lap of the airport road before heading back to the shop. Comes out to 14.5 miles and about 500′ of elevation. We have two major road crossings\, both at lights. If needed we will regroup at them. \nIf somehow this is your first time seeing one of group ride posts\, the Friday Casual road ride is an friendly paced group ride intended to get people out and riding on their drop bar bikes\, and learn some of the subtleties of road riding–there is thought involved\, believe it or not–\, meet people\, and maybe push a little harder than you might while doing errands or getting out in your neighborhood. The target pace is 12-15mph for roughly an hour. \nStrava Event RSVP: https://strava.app.link/gPHaWYUz25b

SUMMARY:9-13 Spicy Sunday Road Ride
DESCRIPTION:TLDR:3pm start from the shopRoute: 1.5 hours or so towards Sutton and King Mountain. https://strava.app.link/YgLgMXpJd6bPace: 16mph+\, for experienced road cyclists. Yes Drop ride.Waivers: Ready in my race bag \nFor the next iteration of Spicy Sunday\, we’ll take an afternoon start from the shop in Palmer…hopefully it should work. I checked the route at that time last Sunday\, and had normal and manageable levels of traffic. \nWhile Sutton is a fairly standard road ride\, heading further out happens sonewhat less. The plan and route is a straight out for 90 min before turning around. The route stops where I think the road narrows (I can picture the spot\, but not sure on the map) and gets sketchy–in all likelihood that will be our turn around even if before 90 min. Figure around 45mi and a mere 2000′ of elevation\, although the route is spicier than the numbers suggest. \nWe will head out from the shop at 3pm\, and have a nice warm up going up the Escape from Palmer. Expect crappy weather…. it’s Autumn after all! Pavement has rough patches\, so put on your chunky 28mm tires. \nThe Spicy Sunday Road Ride is hosted by myself with Backcountry Bike every Even numbered Sunday of the month. The times and starting location vary\, with this year’s* targets being 45-50 miles and roughly 3hrs ride time. The routes are usually on roads rather than a separate path\, may have some elevation gain\, will have a minimum 16mph speed\, and dropping back or going off the front is allowed (albeit slightly defeating the purpose of a group ride). I.e. this is the group ride for experienced cyclists. There is one more planned for the year\, with a Wasilla start; whether we do an October ride will be up to the weather. At that point\, I will be moving it indoor onto Zwift–search for the Backcountry Bike club in the Companion App. \nFor a more beginner/intermediate road bike ride\, check out our casual Friday Road Ride. \nStrava Event RSVP: https://strava.app.link/YQlzG82Kd6b \n*I may have /plans/ for next year.

SUMMARY:September Almost Equinox Coed Cheese and Crackers Ride
DESCRIPTION:Nox! Nox! Who’s there? Equi! Equi who? Equinox! Fall has flung and this ride will mark the 6 months of more darkness than daylight!! But as they say\, if you don’t have fun riding bikes this time of year you’ll have the same amount of light\, just less fun. So come and ride bike with friends at the September Coed Cheese and Crackers ride. We’ll ride for about an hour and then adjourn to the parking lot for cheese and crackers and socializing. And if we are really lucky\, Costco pumpkin pie will be in season! \nWe will be riding the Service Singletrack\, which has recently added another trail to the network. These trails have a bunch of banked corners and jump lines\, but they can be rolled for those who appreciate having both wheels on the ground. They aren’t absolute beginner trails\, but are well designed to be fun for all riders. \nDepending upon the group size we will likely split into groups based on comfort/effort levels. This is a mountain bike ride is for all ability levels\, and is a low-stress\, high-fun event. \nWhere: Hillside Parking Lot off Abbott Road in AnchorageHere is the Google Maps link to the parking lot:https://maps.app.goo.gl/z99fBKfgFx7A6uqF9 \nWhen: Tuesday\, September 22 at 6:30 pmPlease arrive by 6:15 pm to sign waivers.What to bring: A helmet\, a  bike\, and dress for the weather. \nBIKES: These rides are for all abilities and we are not bike snobs. But you will have a better time if your bike is well maintained and capable of riding on singletrack trails over rocks and roots. Please reach out to Trek store or Dave (via messenger) if you have any questions. \nDOGS: While we love dogs\, we ask that you please leave them at home. We ask this out of concern for the safety of your dog and the safety of our participants. \nContact Dave via Messenger if you have any questions about the ride.
