Wednesday Nights starting at 6:30PM from Bates City BBQ in Shawnee.
This is one of the faster (and hillier) rides in the KC metro. You can usually expect a ‘tempo’ roll out for the first five miles or so, then a series of climbs with recovery/flatter sections between. This ride doesn’t utilize the very steepest climbs, but the four major ones are certainly tough. Add to the mix some talented racers driving the pace and you’ll understand how this ride got it’s reputation.
This ride is a fast show-and-go, but riders are expected to ride with safety and courtesy. Two abreast paceline skills and no blowing traffic signals are required. You’ll get a short lecture on the rules/updates prior to the start each night.
Stay after the ride for some outstanding BBQ and beer specials.
