Time to bring back the Thursday "Hammer Drop" ride. It leaves from West County Cycles at 5:30 pm for about a month then it will move to 6 pm if we need to. With the bridge being out at the bottom of "Doberman Hill", I modified the route. I have a link to the route below. This is a no wait, go as fast as you can ride, so please know the route and make sure you get back before it gets dark.

I am also hoping to get out there, but my attendance will be sporadic.

Looks awesome!  Been trying to find a fast Thursday evening group ride.  I'll most likely start coming regularly, but would prefer 6pm since it takes 30-40min to get down manchester after work.  5:30 is doable for a month though.

Looks like I should finally be able to make this ride on Thurs barring any rain.  Any chance of leaving at 6pm instead of 5:30?

Looks like I can make it tomorrow, rain or shine maybe some isolated showers.  I think it is safe to move to a 6 pm start time.  Sunset is at 8:08 pm; any luck we should make it back by then.  It was a great ride.

I'm probably not going to be able to make the ride tomorrow. Kid's baseball practice, kid's homework, wife getting hair done so that means trainer time for me. Last week we had 4 guys show up so it's growing. We didn't hammer and we finished just shy of 2 hours. I was going to suggest moving it to 5:45 for a couple of weeks but 6 should work as well. Have fun and be safe. Also, not sure if the bridge is done on Wildhorse, if it is the original route can be resumed.

Great ride last week; a good variety of hills and distance.  It looks like WHC is still closed even though the county is saying it'll be done by spring.  The last update was it is 40% completed.  http://www.stlouisco...HorseCreekAR863

Leaving at 6 we got back well before the sun set.  I should be back for the ride tomorrow.
