RMCC Thursday Night Climbing

**Thursday, Thursday, RMCC Climbing Thursday!** Join us for the RMCC tradition: Thursday night climbing! We meet at Beverly Heights Park, at the base of Lookout. We'll group up at about 5:25pm for introductions, route overview, sign-in, and other formalities. We plan to roll promptly at 5:30; if you're going to be late, please leave a message here (we'll try to wait a few minutes, if necessary). We'll follow our usual route (see below) to start the spring, and we'll add in climbs (Genesee Mountain, Montane, Lininger, and more) depending on available daylight, weather, and road conditions. Changes will largely be a game-time decision, covered in the route walk-through and potentially adjusted as we progress. [https://www.strava.com/routes/15959177](https://www.strava.com/routes/15959177) As is the nature of rides with climbing, this is a drop/regroup ride. Because we aim to get in a lot of climbing in a short period of time, **we have been known to drop riders, especially on the first climb.** Generally speaking, if you're able to complete Lookout solo in \~30 minutes you'll be able to rejoin at the regroup points. We will roll from the parking area by Buffalo Bill's grave **at 6:00,** and lagging riders may be left behind. For you Zwifters and power-meter users, a power output of 3 w/kg is a good starting point. Expect some separation on the climbs, with opportunities to rejoin at one of several regroup points.
