Spring Warm Up Rides Prepare for MS 150 Benefit Rides -- Find one and Start Pedaling!

Someone, somewhere not far from you is planning and preparing for a spring warm-up bicycle ride to get you and your legs in shape for the bicycling season.  What’s holding you back?  Go join’em!

Surely your local bike club offers a series of rides.  Do you need an excuse to train?  Then sign up for one of our tours and begin following Joe Friel’s free, 12-week training program.  Or, if you are not planning on an ExperiencePlus! bicycle tour this season, why not join the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s fundraising rides.  They have a hundred rides this summer, beginning this month in Texas

Here in Colorado ExperiencePlus! is sponsoring a team for the MS 150 Ride June 28 and 29.   The ride begins in Westminster, Colorado and overnights in Ft. Collins, Colorado, home of ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours, New Belgium Brewing and Odell’s Brewing!  Your registration fee includes an official event t-shirt, 6 catered meals, all support services, and more. The 2-day ride caters to cyclists of all ability levels with the base route covering 75 miles each day.  

Visit the web site for the Colorado MS 150 for more information.  Or jump right in and sign up here.

The ExperiencePlus! team is being coordinated by our customer, Kathy Price.  If you live in the Fort Collins area, Kathy is organizing training rides to get ready for the MS 150 in Colorado beginning Apil 12th: 
The first training ride will be April 12th. It will start at my [Kathy's] house (2301 Northridge Ct. 80521).  We will do an easy 18 to 20 mile ride with just a few hills.  We will start at 9:30 with coffee etc.   I plan to do a ride at least every Saturday until we leave for my ExperiencePlus! tour in Spain May 23.  The last ride will be over Horsetooth to Masonville, to Loveland and home by way of Boyd Lake.  It's 50 miles.
ExperiencePlus! will also mark the route for the Fort Collins Cycling Club’s Spring Warm Up Ride, April 26th.  Join us! 

Join us for a few bike rides in Colorado this Spring and Summer!
