Please Vote
As you know, Blackhawk has banned bicycle riding throught town, meaning that you now have to dismount and walk kyour bikes through town. This affects our scheduled August 14th ride. We are asking for your vote as to whether you'd like to continue with the scheduled ride or replace it with an alternate route. If you are an RMCC member and plan to ride that day, please let us know your preference.

A Word of Warning...
The Sheriff's office has been patroling Lookout Mountain and catching speeding cyclists. The speed limit on most of this descent is 20. Given that it's summertime, expect to see more law enforcement in general. We encourage you to assert your right to use the roads, but don't forget that we also have to follow the rules of the road! Save the money you would spend on a ticket and put it toward a new bike from Bike Source, a new set of wheels from Schwab, or perhaps a new house you found at the 8Z/Colorado Homefinder website!
