The 2025 Progressive Ride Series (PRS) starts December 28 and traverses some of the most stunning scenery in the area. The PRS starts with a 44 mile, 1750’ ascent ride and ramps to the full-century (101-mile, 6400’) Primavera Worker’s Ride on April 6. The PRS is for M and M+ pace riders over category 3-5 terrain who already have a base level of conditioning and group riding experience. (All other riders should consider the Club Conditioning Ride Series (CCRS).)
- The first three rides are to get started. After that, new participants need permission from a ride leader.
- These are “drop” rides with extended climbs. Riders tend to break into subgroups. Ride leaders will wait up to 10 minutes at major regroups.
- Be self-sufficient in terms of navigation, food, hydration, and mechanical issues.
- Text a ride leader if delayed or dropping out.
- Minors (under 18) must be accompanied by parents or guardians and bring signed consent forms.
