Daily Rides for May 1, 2025

ALL RIDERS: Ride times listed are departure times. Please email or text (preferable)/call the ride leader one to two days before the ride to double check that the departure time remains as posted and to let the ride leader know that you are coming.

Description: This ride meets at a different location each week for a 35-40 mile scenic ride through different West End locations. All paces are welcome but may be self led. Each week's start location will be announced via the RABA Message Board.

**The start time is usually 9 am but may change depending on the weather and the ride leader. Please email the ride leader for the correct start time.

This evening training ride features multiple distances beginning in the Far West End, progressing through Ashland and western Hanover County. We have prepared cue sheets of four distances on roads familiar to all RABA riders. The longest options feature hills like the Three Sisters, Fire Training Hill, Rockets Mill, and Horseshoe Hill. Cyclists should have very good paceline handling skills. **Ride starts promptly**

Cue sheet:  Go to https://www.raba.org/raba-cue-sheets-and-maps/, in the field “Complete or Partial Ride Name:” type the word “Crump”, there will be a link to a printable PDF file.

Address: : 3400 Mountain Rd, Glen Allen, VA 23060. Look for bicyclists in the very rear parking lot. Restrooms are available near the entrance of the park.

Note: Not all ride leaders will be there every week, but our goal is for everyone who shows up to have group in their comfort zone.

Description: The ride leaves from the rear parking lot behind the football field at RF&P Park which is in the back of Crump Park.  This is the same start location used by the ABC ride.

Routes vary from 17-30 miles and are mostly flat.  All paces are welcome and may be self-led.  While the faster paces, B and up, are not no drop, leaders will generally try to re-group as needed. 

The ride is open to all cyclists.  Due to the possibility of returning in low light, each rider should have a working headlight and rear blinkie.  

After the ride, join us at Franco's Italian Restaurant (9010 Staples Mill Rd, Henrico, VA 23228) for dinner, drinks and fellowship.
