Notes from the editor: Join me at the ride this week for fun promotion details! A big thanks to the Trek SuperStore and Trek Ride Guides for organizing the weekly training rides. A little challenge: The editor buys coffee on the 24th for anyone who posts a faster climb up Torrey Pines on Strava:) PS I took out a loan so I can buy a lot of coffee.

Enjoy the path to accomplishing your biking resolutions!
