Tour de Latte

Type

Road, Social, No Drop

Level

Novice
Rides suitable for cyclists who are new to the sport (or who have not been on a bike for some years), family-friendly rides or any riders that feel a need for some mentoring. Note: please note that minors under the age of 16 cannot participate in rides unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Families with children should, in any event, confirm with the ride leader ahead of time that the ride will be suitable for their needs.

Intermediate
Targeted towards riders who have a few years in the saddle, who have developed some riding confidence and fitness and feel ready to move to the next level. Could attract more experienced riders who are looking for a relaxed or less aggressive ride.

Advanced
Limited to experienced riders with superior bike handling skills and who are comfortable with a fast pace (probably including single and/or double pace-line riding) and/or hilly terrain, and the possibility of heavily trafficked roads. Advanced rides are less likely to be "no-drop" unless identified as such.

Description

Ride Category: Green
The Tour de Latte is designed as a casual social ride around Colorado Springs on Saturday mornings, each week stopping at a different independent coffee house. Over the course of the summer, the ride will gradually increase in distance and difficulty, always maintaining an easy pace and regrouping occasionally.

The Latte Ride is designed to be shorter and easier (12 – 15 miles) early in the season and building to be longer and more difficult (15 - 20+ miles with more hills) toward the end of the season. It is always a no drop, led social ride, with posting at corners and sweeps designated.
