Are you looking for a way to keep motivated and riding over the holiday?  Come join Studio Velo and Rapha and partake in the Rapha Festive 500 competition.  The idea is simple.  Ride 500km between December 23rd to December 31st.  The challenge is staying motivated and making to time to get it done.  

The Rapha Cycle Club will be leading a series of rides departing their location in San Francisco each morning at 8:00 or 8:30.  Come by a little early for a coffee and treat.  

Each of the rides will be between 50 and 65 miles, with varying amounts of elevation gain.  They will be fun rides, not race pace, as the idea is to ride 500km, not to simulate race day.  

SV riders Shelly and Chris will be leading the rides on the 27th and 28th, and we would love to have you join us.  If you would like to meet up to ride to the Rapha Cycle Club, we will be departing Studio Velo at 7:30 on the 27th and 28th to ride across the bridge.  

This will be a great way to finish up any cycling goals you might have had for 2011 and to help get you started for a strong 2012.  We will keep you updated with ride information via Facebook and Twitter updates.  

The ride schedule and ride leaders will be as follows:

December 23rd - Hosted by Strava - 8AM

December 24th - Saturday Rapha Cycle Club Ride - 8 30AM

December 25th - Bonus X Mas ride with Derrick Lewis, a fellow Rapha employee in town from NYC! 12pm

December 26th - Rapha Cycle Club Ride - 8:30AM

December 27th - Ladies (And Gentlemen's) Ride with the Studio Velo Women's Team - 8:30AM

December 28th-  Studio Velo Team - 8:30AM

December 29th - Mission Cycling - 8:30AM

We hope to see you out on the road with us!
