Group Ride for Saturday, August 21st

This Saturday we'll head out the South Platte trail to REI. This is an out and back recreational ride of 31 miles, and we'll take it at a moderate pace. It should take us about 2 1/2 hours total with approximately 2 hrs of ride time. We'll stop at REI for a break and a latte before turning around and heading back. Always a fun ride!
As usual, we'll leave the shop at 9:30am, so arrive early to check in, fill up your water bottles, and stock up on any tubes or energy bars.

See you Saturday!
