SUMMARY:RMCC Thursday Night Climbing--Time Change Celebration!
DESCRIPTION:**To celebrate the time change and the return of more daylight
 \, we'll be gathering at a brewery (location TBD) after the ride for food 
 and drink.** **To celebrate the time change and the return of more dayligh
 t\, we'll be gathering at a brewery (location TBD) after the ride for food
  and drink.** Join us for the RMCC tradition: Thursday night climbing **af
 ter dark!** Daylight Savings is gone for the year\, but we don't let that 
 get us down. It's time to grab some lights and keep on climbing. The darkn
 ess can't hold us back: we meet at Beverly Heights Park at the base of Loo
 kout every Thursday\, weather permitting\, until the warmth returns in the
  spring. We'll group up about 5:25pm for introductions\, route overview\, 
 sign-in\, and other formalities. We plan to roll at about 5:30. We'll foll
 ow our usual route (see below)\, though we may make changes depending on w
 eather and road conditions. Snowfall usually melts within a few days\, but
  icy conditions may require riding up or down US 40 instead. Changes will 
 largely be a game-time decision\, covered in the route walk-through and po
 tentially adjusted as we progress. https://www.strava.com/routes/15959177 
 As is the nature of rides with long climbs\, this is a drop/regroup ride. 
 Generally speaking\, if you're able to complete Lookout solo in \\~30 minu
 tes you'll be able to rejoin at the regroup points. These rides will go at
  a more conversational pace (for some)\, and we will roll from the parking
  area by Buffalo Bill's grave at 6:05. For the sake of the safety and effi
 ciency of the ride\, this does mean that we will leave riders behind if th
 ey miss the time cut-off. For you Zwifters and powermeter users\, a power 
 output of 2.7 w/kg is a good starting point. Expect some separation on the
  climbs\, with opportunities to rejoin at one of several regroup points. B
 eing comfortable in a draft will help on some of the flat / roller section
 s. This event will be canceled if weather or roadways are not conducive fo
 r a safe\, fun ride. We'll cancel as early as possible\, however be prepar
 ed for game-time calls as conditions can be unpredictable in the foothills
 . **Note: Strong\, dependable lights are required for this ride.** Also\, 
 note that temps at the top in Genesee can be **10-20 degrees cooler** than
  those at the start\, so layering is essential for a successful ride. Glov
 es (maybe even a light pair and a heavy pair)\, a hat\, shoe covers\, and 
 windproof layers have all been used successfully by riders on this ride. F
 inally\, this ride will be canceled if temps at the start are forecast to 
 be below 25 degrees. We hope to see you out there! Meetup group: Rocky Mou
