RMCC Thursday Night Climbing
Beverly Heights Park, 2151 Lookout Mountain Rd, Golden, CO, USThursday, Thursday, RMCC Climbing Thursday!
Join us for the RMCC tradition: Thursday night climbing!
We meet at Beverly Heights Park, at the base of Lookout. We'll group up at about 5:25pm for introductions, route overview, sign-in, and other formalities. We plan to roll promptly at 5:30; if you're going to be late, please leave a message here (we'll try to wait a few minutes, if necessary).
We'll follow our usual route (see below) to start the spring, and we'll add in climbs (Genesee Mountain, Montane, Lininger, and more) depending on available daylight, weather, and road conditions. Changes will largely be a game-time decision, covered in the route walk-through and potentially adjusted as we progress.

As is the nature of rides with climbing, this is a drop/regroup ride. Because we aim to get in a lot of climbing in a short period of time, we have been known to drop riders, especially on the first climb. Generally speaking, if you're able to complete Lookout solo in ~30 minutes you'll be able to rejoin at the regroup points. We will roll from the parking area by Buffalo Bill's grave at 6:00, and lagging riders may be left behind. For you Zwifters and power-meter users, a power output of 3 w/kg is a good starting point. Expect some separation on the climbs, with opportunities to rejoin at one of several regroup points. Being comfortable in a draft will help on some of the flatter / roller sections.
This event will be canceled if weather or roadways are not conducive for a safe, fun ride. We'll cancel as early as possible, however be prepared for game-time calls as conditions can be unpredictable in the foothills.
In the springtime, please bring and use lights!
We hope to see you out there!1 attendee
Golden Gate - Douglas Mountain - Coal Creek Loop
Golden Gate Canyon Road and Hwy 93, 20000 Golden Gate Canyon Road, Golden, CO, golden, CO, USFor this ride we'll meet at the parking lot on the NW corner of Highway 93 and Golden Gate Canyon road just west of Golden. To get ahead of the park traffic, we are meeting at 7:15 for a 7:30 departure.
This ride takes in Golden Gate, Douglas Mountain (super cool!), Mountain Base, Gap Road, and Coal Creek Canyon. The complete loop is 65 miles with 8000 feet of climbing. The route includes some awesome roads that most haven't ridden, so this is a great one to try something a bit different!

There is a 3 mile section of super-rideable dirt on Gap Road, and Douglas Mountain is a kind of rough in spots. But this is still a ride to bring the road bike out for.
Regroup Points:
-Mile 26: The Golden Gate Canyon Visitor Center.
-Mile 39: Sinclar on Coal Creek Canyon RoadWhile we will regroup periodically, like all RMCC rides this should be considered a drop ride.
Non-dues-paying members are welcome and invited to join us on any ride! After three rides we do require that you join the club: https://www.rockymountaincyclingclub.com/rmcc-membership-application-form4 attendeesRMCC Thursday Night Climbing
