My Meetup Groups
Introduction
Started on the Mountain Bike side, but got my 1st road bike July 3rd! I'd been enjoying the American River bike trail, but enviously watching all the speedy road bikes just pass me by. Fast is good!
Where did you hear about us?
Cross over from Mountain side, found that from my Hot Air Ballooning Meetup group.
What rides would you like to see on the calendar?
I'm interested in advancing my riding, specifically climbing. There's some rides next year that I'm thinking more and more about!
What goals are you setting for yourself, if any?
2009 is a fittness year for me. Biking is a large part of that! I want to train for & complete all 5 passes on the Death Ride 2010.
What level biker are you?
When I joined I had beginner here. I've never seen a description of levels, or a class/test like on the mountain side. If I haven't reached intermediate level at this point, I think I'm close.
Do you have any success stories you can share with everyone?
OK! First road bike ride 7/3/09, 35 miles on my new Giant Defy. First Century, 100 miles, 5200 ft elevation, 8/22/09, taking me to 1400 miles in 7 weeks riding.

Rob Ryerson It was very cold all day. The climb from Hermit Valley to Ebbetts Summit at 5.5 miles seemed harder than it was on the DR. The two rides have that one climb in common, naught else....Aug 285 days ago | Details -
Rob Ryerson If you like to climb, this would be a good ride next year. I would say it's not as hard as the Death Ride, but it's 30 miles shorter, and something around 4,000 ft less. But do not mistake, the climbs on this ride are brutal....Aug 285 days ago | Details

Rob Ryerson Only done this once, last year. But recall the best way to finish is to tag a pace line to the end. There will be some really fast ones, I tagged one that held about 28 for the last 5 miles or so. :)Oct 16C100/E62/F31 Foxy’s Fall CenturySaturday 6:45 AM at Veteran's Memorial Center23 Bike riding junkies!1 week ago | Details

Rob Ryerson I'm registered. It's 101 miles, and 10,000 feet. Stout, especially with a 7000 base altitude. But likely doable.Aug 283 weeks ago | Details

Rob Ryerson Rode over this morning with Shawn and one of his friends. Plenty of time to get there, check in, and get a decent start for the metric. Totally overcast for the 1st half, but not cold. Sunny but with cool air temps for the 2nd half....Aug 74 weeks ago | Details
