Castelli is supporting the training ride series in 2026. They offer a huge range of apparel options for every weather possibility we get here in Colorado. This legendary Italian company is turning 150 years old in 2026. If that is not a testiment to it’s quality and innovation, we’re not sure what else is.
For rides ~40-55 degrees, layering is still really important, although each layer becomes lighter and ideally storable on your person should you warm up. Below are our recommended layering options as we leave the coldest spring days behind and head towards summer. Get the best pricing on the Castelli site and pick up an item or two below.

ROUTES:
Longer route option (68-miles & TRAIL DAY!!!)
Riders are encouraged to ride with similarly paced riders.
The Fort Follies will be leading a mid-paced (13-15mph) for women, femme & non-binary cyclists. It will not be no-drop, rather there will be occasional stops to regroup.
Segment Challenge: the Long Route will feature an optional Strava segment challenge!
This will be a longer day but there are water refill options along the way and you can cut out portions if needed.
Shorter route option (34 miles)
Riders are encouraged to ride with similarly paced riders. While it will not be no-drop, there will also be a lanterne rouge to make sure everyone makes it back ok
