Ride Schedule - Month View

Leaving promptly at 6am from the coffee bean on El paseo this ride heads out towards Rancho Mirage warming up for about 4 miles before picking up pace on Country Club. Ride will continue in the low-mid 20mph range until going up the Ritz climb at whatever your capacity allows. Regroup at the top of the climb and often goes full tilt boogie at least intermittently for the remainder of the ride. As with many rides, pace depends on who shows up. We consider this to be a quick B+ ride. No aerobars please. Group riding skills required

Packed into “the Fastest Hour” is 45 minutes of lung-busting, quad pumping flats with one relatively short 4% climb that comes two-thirds the way through the ride at just at the time your legs are trying to catch their breath. Starting from the Palm Desert Civic Center, the ride takes the same initial leisurely route as the Saturday Club rides, heading east on Magnesia Falls, north up Portola, east on Frank Sinatra, then north again on Cook. After crossing the 11 freeway on Cook, the ride makes a sharp turn east onto Varner where it off takes with speeds quickly ramping up to around 30 mph. At Washington the ride turns south back over the 10, then rips west on Country Club, northwest on Tamarisk, and west on Frank Sinatra until Gerald Ford where it snakes west and north along Gerald Ford and Dinah Shore until it meets Portola again, this time at its most northern and lowest point. By now your lungs and legs will have been at max for more than 20 mins, so it’s the perfect time for a 5 minute max power climb south on Portola. Do what you have to to hold on because once you make it to Frank Sinatra, your home free for the most part. The remaining couple of miles south on Portola are slightly down hill then dead flat, so the 30 mph is just fine, especially if you stay tucked in and stuck onto the wheel in front of you. At Magnesia Falls it’s finally over with a turn west and a return to where you started, the Civic Center. Locals are likely to tack more miles onto the 25 or so just ridden. Catch you breath, and feel free to join in.

From May 1-st through Summer the Saturday ride types can vary. There is always a fast Dealership Ride avg spd -19-22mph total with bursts up to 28mph

We will also offer the "Sport Ride" if there is any desire. This ride is a no drop for mechanicals, avg spd 17mph at end, with flat riding between 17-21mph

Leaving promptly from the Vintage Coffee Shop in Indio at 7am, this is a fun moderate to quick paced ride that averages 40-45 miles.

From Vintage Coffee we head South on Jefferson to Ave 52 where we then head East then South on Van Buren to Ave 66 all the way to the AMPM in Mecca. Following a short water break we then head Easterly to Johnson before moving North where we Zigzag back towards 52. We generally end the ride back at Vintage, or depending on mood will sometimes head up the Cove and finish at the Starbucks in La Quinta.

Average pace by end of ride comes in between 17-18mph so you can expect some extended time on the flats at between 21-24mph. So long as your comfortable riding in a group at a reasonable pace, this ride should be perfect for the Intermediate cyclist. Guests always welcome, no Aerobars please.

Leaving promptly at 6am, the ride starts off heading East on Fairway through Palm Desert and Indian Wells, La Quinta, etc. Warming up for the first 8 miles or so before heading South and quickly accelerating to speeds of 25mph and beyond for the bulk of the ride up to Trilogy and back. Roughly 35-45 miles, solid pack riding skills are a must if you‘re going to hang with this group for the longhaul. Guests Welcome, average speed generally works out to between 18-21mph, no aerobars

Leaving from IW Coffee (Corner Country Club and Cook) promptly at 7:30am this ride warms up quickly heading around Palm Desert and climbs up Portola past the living Desert where we start our Hot Laps. These laps climb from the Living Desert until hitting Mesa View, turning onto Alamo and then again onto Haystack descending until Portola to run the lap again and again. Generally we do between 4-5 laps before finishing off with a cruise up to the Visitor Center on Hwy 74 (Start of Art Smith Trail). This ride has a quick tempo, that builds up quickly. Try not to get lapped and enjoy! Avg speed 15-19mph (including climbing) Guests always welcome but please no aerobars within the group
