Come get away from your annoying visiting relatives with a perfect excuse to go for a ride. We're hosting a ride for Rapha's Festive 500 on Thursday the 29th. What's The Festive 500? It's a challenge to get your ass away from the spiked egg nog and on the bike for some miles this holiday season. Rapha is offering all kinds of prizes for people who submit especially compelling evidence of their rides. (Get all the info on that here). We're offering a great reason to postpone your trip to Best Buy to return your unwanted Kindles or Wii's or whatever.

Come to the Rapha Cycle Club at the corner of Filbert and Fillmore for an 8:30 rollout. Arrive at 8 for a Four Barrel coffee, do some visualizing, pushups, get yourself mentally right.

We'll look to keep all the Festive 500 participants on pace with a ride of 50+ miles.

See you there.
