  • GAS/Intrinsik women’s road ride series: Weekly rides on Mondays at 6 PM at the Bozeman Public Library. These rides are geared toward women road riders who are interested in improving their riding skills.  The rides are for cyclists who can comfortably complete a 15-20 mile ride and who can capably shift gears, negotiate traffic and various road surfaces, and manage some climbing and descending. Most importantly, these rides are for you if you want to learn more, push yourself and improve your riding, all in the company of other women. The pace of the rides will depend on the individual topic and type of ride. The rides are open to any women rider; you needn’t be a member of the GAS team. If you are uncertain about whether these rides are a good match for you, please email Karin Kirk via the GAS team email account (gascyclingteam@gmail.com). Throughout the season there will be rides with a variety of topics and distances. We aim to help women gain confidence and experience while learning new skills. Some rides will consist of drills and coaching, while others will just be rides in the fine company of other women. Topics will include:  Group riding skills,  Pacelines,  Climbing and descending,  Pedaling technique,  Cornering,  Sprinting,  Time trial skills (geared toward participating in the Tuesday night time trials).  To insure adequate turnout, most rides will have an RSVP policy: We’ll need to hear from three riders by 3:00 to make the ride a go. You can RSVP by sending a note to gascyclingteam@gmail.com. If you’d like to be added to the e-mail list for these rides, please send a note to gascyclingteam@gmail.com. Use that same email if you’ve got any questions.

  • Bangtail Bikes’ Monday Night Road Rides are Back!!: A long-time Bangtail tradition: the weekly Monday Night Road Ride, is back! This is a recreational road ride that is usually around 20-40 miles depending on the group and weather.  This is a recreational ride, not a training ride. All abilities are welcome. If you’re interesting in riding with us, meet at the shop a little before 6 in the evening. We’ll leave the shop a bit after we close at 6 (this gives us in the shop a chance to get in on the ride). If you have any questions please give us a call at 587-4905 or comment on our Facebook page.

  • Team Luna Chix Bozeman Weekly Mountain Bike Rides: Starting Wednesday, June 16, at 6:00 pm at our traditional season opener, Sourdough/Bozeman Creek Trailhead.  Meet at the trailhead at 6:00 pm with your functional mountain bike, helmet and water.  Team Luna Chix Ambassadors ride to get women outside to play and raise money for The Breast Cancer Fund.  Find the Wednesday night ride schedule and updated ride information at http://teamlunachix.com/bozeman_mountain_bike/events, or call 581-0946 or e-mail colleen.helm@gmail.com.
  • Team Delphine road rides: Depending on the riders present, we may split up into two groups, one being the traditional lower intensity ride (LIR). The other will be a faster paced ride (HIR) for more experienced riders and those looking to push their fitness a bit. By doing both rides on the same night, we hope to create a venue for all of us to get to know one another and potentially see a little more overlap and movement between the two groups. Our rides are open to women interested in developing their cycling skills in a positive mentoring environment. Meet at Rockford, Wednesday 5:45 PM. LIR group: Learn bike handling skills from experienced riders at a less intense pace. Team Delphine’s LIR group rides provide opportunities for mentoring. Build your bike handling skills, and your confidence while having fun! HIR group: These rides are geared toward more experienced riders with good fitness and focus on team tactics, strategy, and bike handling skills. We often discuss recent and/or upcoming races.

Thursday
.

  • GAS/Intrinsik Thursday Night Road Ride: The Thursday night ride has evolved over the years and is now a fast-paced training ride. That doesn’t mean you have to be a Cat 3 to join this ride, as we will split into groups. Riders of any club or team affiliation are welcome to join us. A road bike in good working order and a helmet are required. The duration of the ride will be 2 hours and the pace will be fast at times. Riders are encouraged to have their own tools for fixing flats and to be familiar with the local roads. Meet at 6 pm on the north side of the library. If you want to be added to the mailing list for this ride, send a note to gascyclingteam@gmail.com.
  • Bozeman Bike Kitchen Work Night: Gather at the Meat Shoppe (corner of Rouse and Aspen) at 5:59 pm, ride one half block to the Bozeman Bike Kitchen for the Weekly Work Night at 6:00 pm, at 425 E Aspen (last house on the left, in the garage).
