Palm Springs: 43 Miles Hosted by Desert Roadrunners
December 17, 2023
@ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
CV Link – Varner – Country Club
43 Miles Mostly flat with some rolling hills
Meet: 8:00 AM
Ride-Out: 8:30 AM
Rain Cancels
Meet at Koffi Central at 8 am, ride out at 8:30. After heading around the north end of town for a little warm-up on Rose, we’ll head across town to the CVLink, then to Varner, then Country Club and back home through Demuth Park via the CVLink extension. This is another “tempo” training ride – set you goal to get out of “slow roll” mode and really push yourself to maintain faster speeds. This should be a great finish to the 2023 part of the training season as we head into the holidays…….and get ready for lots of harder miles and hills in 2024. If this is not an easy ride, no matter your riding ability, then you need more Time In The Saddle!! Earn those cookies and make speed your challenge on this ride.
All skill levels are welcome! If any ride is too much, we will work with you on making sure you have alternatives to the entire route. You will have a great bike ride. That’s a win! And remember, safety is critical. We will be following all bicycling laws and regulations as well as COVID regulations.!
GPS/TCX files available here or on the Roadrunner FB or Strava pages (members only).
