The April ride has two distinct adventures! The ride departs from New Belgium Brewing at 10am. Please fill out the waiver to attend.
Grab our clothing reco’s for early spring weather (& a discount code!) below. We’ll be there a little early with some First Endurance hydration & Liquid Shots and some rotating surprises through the training series.
Complete the ride and be sure to tag us on Instagram (@focofondo) and join our Strava Club for a chance to win Rio Grande gift cards throughout the year. We’ll stick around afterwards for a beer and food truck lunch.
ROUTES:
The ride isn’t no drop, rather, riders will be able to ride with similarly paced riders. There will also be a lanterne rouge on the shorter route to make sure everyone makes it back ok. The Fort Follies will be leading a medium-paced group on the longer routes in 2025.
Pearl iZUMi is supporting the training ride series in 2025. They offer a huge range of apparel options for every weather possibility we get here in Colorado. To boot, as of the end of 2024, 98% of their materials used are recycled or sustainable. We think that's pretty dang noteworthy.
For rides ~40-55 degrees, layering is still really important, although each layer becomes lighter and ideally storable on your person should you warm up. Below are our recommended layering options as we leave the coldest days of winter behind and head towards spring. Get the best pricing on the Pearl iZUMi site with code “FOCOFONDO” in 2025 and pick up an item or two:
Note: When you are on single track or narrow trails, the best practice is to look at where you want to go versus where you don’t want to go.
