Event has already happened.

Let's go sample some of the RAMROD hill climbs this Friday morning.  Early start to avoid the heat of the mid-day sun.   Meet at the parking lot just at the base of Crystal mountain road and highway 410 and be ready to roll promptly at 7:30 am.   Pace for this ride will be "low strenuous" endurance effort level, equivalent to about 19-20mph on flats.  Please be self-sufficient to handle any minor mechanical issues.  Bring ample water - at least 2 bottles and/or hydration pack and enough nutrition for the full ride.   Sunscreen and camera recommended.   :)   There is water available mid-ride at the base of the Sunrise climb, but no food.    Really looking forward to spending a day in the mountains and hope to see many of you join me.

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Hilly

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
