Thursday Night Chimney Rock rides are back for 2017.
I know there is another thread for this ride, but I wanted to start a new one and reiterate what this ride is all about.
This is for people looking to get a hard ride in on Thursday nights. The pace is usually a Cat 1 tempo/Cat 2 race pace, although this may change. The real fireworks usually happen in the second half of the ride, but you should expect a hard effort regardless. If you're not sure, ask us. We're nice. And honest.
We typically do a loop that allows for people to drop at their own will and still be close to the lot if they want. We hit the further yellow/High tech stuff later in the ride.
This is NOT a no drop ride. If you fall behind, there is no promise the pack will be waiting for you at the top of the hill. This is not meant to be unfriendly, or a dick move, we just want to eliminate the "stop and go, stop and go", which is a drag.
It is suggested to bring the following:
Last, but not least: No whining.

It is suggested to bring the following:
- Your own tools, pump, and tube to repair your bike.
- A map or the ability to use your phone to find your way back to your vehicle in case you lose touch with the ride. You are responsible for yourself in case you get dropped.
- Enough water. It gets hot.
- Legs.
Last, but not least: No whining.
