Training Rides
Rides generally begin at Botzum Trail Head (formerly called
Indian Mounds), which is near the southern end of the CVNP on Riverview Road,
¼ mile south of Bath Road.
Saturday & Sunday: There will be a
road ride from Botzum Parking lot at 8:00 a.m., weather permitting.
Tuesday & Thursday: 6:00 p.m.
from Botzum Trail Head. We usually split into two groups so that nobody gets
dropped and everybody gets a good workout. Those who want to do specific
training, recovery rides, or work on something specific may also go their own
way or maybe find someone else to work with.
