We will be using room N6, which is a prefab classroom at the rear of the rear parking lot. Members should park behind the main building, as far to the rear as possible to be close to the room.
TRAINING FOR SPRING METRIC & FULL CENTURIES BEGIN
Progressive Ride Series (PRS)
Our annual PRS (Progressive Ride Series) rides run every Sunday. The PRS series gets riders ready for a full century (the Primavera Worker's Ride on April 18th). The ride will led at a M pace.

Less Aggressive Progressive Series (LAPS)
The weekly LAP rides will become progressively more challenging through the end of March at a T-M pace with the goal of preparing riders to complete a metric century of their choice in the Spring. This series is very flexible since many of the routes can be modified to reduce mileage and climbing. Riders are welcome to join mid-route, skip coffee/lunch, leave early or ride off the front – just make sure to let a ride leader know. The rides will be no-drop rides at a T-M pace and led by many of our regular LAP ride leaders.
Cinderella Conditioning Ride Series (CCRS)
Last, but by no means least, we have our annual Cinderella training series starting on January 24th and running Saturdays through April 4th. This year we’ve split the training into two distinct series, the Coaching Series and the Conditioning Series. The Coaching Series is for new women riders (sorry, no men) and is a paid program. The Conditioning Ride Series is free and open to all club members. The “Conditioning” series will progress towards preparing riders for a metric century a little more gently than the LAP rides. The rides will be no-drop rides at a T-M pace and led by many of our regular Cinderella ride leaders.
