Moderately fast-paced road ride containing several optional sprints with pre-set regroup points. Ride destination will be announced on the list server the day before the ride. Good front and back lights are required as we will return after sunset. Ride features a base portion that is kept at the advertised pace (17-19 in April advancing to 18-20 mph mid-season) with 4 to 7 optional sprint sections with speeds in the low 20’s up to 30 mph depending on the riders attending that night. All sprint sections have a pre-announced regroup point allowing riders to ride at the base pace or faster. Routes vary from week to week with the specific route for a given night announced on the list server on the Monday prior to the ride. This is an advanced ride and all riders are expected to have solid group riding skills, be comfortable riding with moderate car traffic, and a willing to work on pace line skills during the course of the season. Anyone riding an e-bike must contact me before attending their first ride.

This is an highly social, evening ride that has been a Spring, Summer and Fall tradition since August, 2015. Always rolling at the speed-of-fun. We ride as a team and enthusiastically encourage communication, conversation and laughter, as long as riders prescribe to safe practices such as: communicating about obstacles; maintaining gaps that are appropriate for the speed, terrain and weather conditions, etc. You must have a bike that is trail-ready and has headlights and tail lights. Avoid using retina-burning tail lights, and we try to douse headlights when passing pedestrians and other riders as we ride into growing darkness. We suggest a mountain or fat-tire bike, or at least some wide tires. i.e. There may be times on the damp, crushed limestone trails when a slim-tire road bike will be very difficult to ride. No rider will ever be left behind. Having said that, please don‘t show up if your bike is not ready or you are not in athletic condition for this distance and pace. Note that 10-12 mph on a trail may take the same effort as 13-16 mph on a road, using a road bike. Riding a heavy, fat bike or mountain bike requires yet additional effort. Look for route information on our e-mail list server each week before this ride.

Welcome to the reinstitution of the classic "Polkow Loops"! For many years, club Ride Leader and triathlon coach, Dave Polkow, had us circling the outer, road perimeter of York Woods at our own pace. Like the classic Blue Skies rides, there was a built in safety net in that each rider could do their own thing, and still be collected somewhere and not be set adrift if they had a mechanical or physical setback. And yet they would not slow the group down either, nor make the group run at too hot a pace, because everyone is training in their own way. We will start together, and collectively end at the finish time, where you can tell me your mileage. Each loop is about 3 miles, and there is some car traffic to negotiate with in some spots. There is no official break, as this is a relatively brief event, and you stop or go as you like. You can even rest for a long time, then continue back in the loops. Please join us to re-ignite this classic training tradition. See you there.

EBC has supported Project Mobility for decades, let’s continue that in 2023. Come join Pussanee and I for a great day of riding and seeing the kids and wounded warriors get their bikes. The following is from the Project Mobility Website: "Each year Project Mobility with the help of Freedom Concepts hosts our Adaptive Bike Giveaway. A few weeks leading up to Everybody Rides we host a contest on Project Mobility‘s Facebook page to give away a donated Freedom Concepts adaptive bike to a very deserving child. We ask families who are in need of an adaptive bike to tell their story. The child with the most “likes” will be the winner of the bike worth more than $4,000. At the Post Ride Celebration the winner is presented their bike. In 2015‘s Adaptive Bike Giveaway 8 children with disabilities participated; their pictures and stories were shared on Facebook and in less than 48 hours, the post with all the children’s stories reached more than 70,000 people in the United States and 9 other countries! Everybody Rides to date has given away over 40 adaptive bikes! This would not be possible without all our donors, sponsors, riders and volunteers! Thank you for giving the freedom of mobility to many deserving people!"

I plan to do the 100K route and will collect club participation for all distances (100K, 150K or 200K). This is a ride that is as tough as it makes itself out to be, but will give you great hill-climbing cred once you complete it. It was so tough that after it thoroughly destroyed me my first year, I vowed to never do it again. This will be my 4th year. You must register to attend. Registration for past participants is open Feb 1 to Feb 7. Registration for all others opens Feb 8th. Registration link is: https://runsignup.com/Race/WI/BlueMounds/HorribleHillyHundreds. This is the 20th anniversary ride, so I expect it to sell out quickly. Information on the ride can be found here: https://www.friendsofbluemound.org/horribly-hilly-hundreds-bike-ride/
