Hey sports fans..I am planning on starting a 6am "Hour of Power" ride on Thursday mornings. This ride is huge in Scottsdale..gets like 50 people with headlights..kinda crazy. Once the we move the clocks in a few weeks, I will make it a 5:30am ride. The purpose of the ride is to get out and get a good tempo ride before the workday starts. I will start at the "top of the hill" leaving promptly at 6am. Heading out on the typical coffee ride loop. Turning right on Baker by the PDQ and heading NE up and over the few rollers..then back in towards Opus (a few more rollers as well) then back in. If you figure your ride over to the ride (est. 10-20 min) the ride itself 45-60, and the ride back home..it is a solid hour of good riding. Right now the whole ride is in the dark..but in a few weeks we will start in the dark..and finish with the sunrise. This ride will get people home by 7-7:30, so folks can get to work. So come out and join me. Make sure to bring a headlamp and a tail light at a minimum. See you at 6am on Thursday...(if its not raining).
