Despite a dire weather forecast, the weekend wasn't too shabby. Nicole's monthly excursion took us up to the Wind Turbine and down to Red Rocks. There was even a mobile barista at the top...setting a new standard for monthly rides, ha!

On the event front, it's that time of the year when we're starting to think about the Taupo Challenge! There are heaps of events (road and MTB), and we'll be throwing in a few rides here and there to get you ready for the big day. Check out more info about the event HERE.

Let's Ride!
