Saturday - May 28th

This weekend we'll ride up Rooney Road and Dinosaur Ridge into Red Rocks. For those who want to, we'll climb the Amphitheater, then head back down through Morrison.
Who knows what the weather will be! Dress appropriately, which may mean layers, bring plenty of fluids in case it's hot, and we'll roll out at 9:30am, so arrive early to check in.

Tomorrow's Ride

I'm finally able to get back into blogger! It's been down most of this week, so I was unable to post.
Tomorrow's ride will take us out to REI and back. This is always a great ride, and usually above any "flood zones" that we may otherwise encounter on the 470 trail. This ride is about 33 miles, and is an out and back with a pit stop at the Starbucks at REI. The route map with elevation profile is below. Be sure you're ready to ride at 9:30am, which means arriving a few minutes early to unload your bike, gear up, fill your water bottles and purchase any supplies or snacks you need before we depart. The weather is looking promising for the morning, so fingers crossed that the rain will indeed hold off until we get back!
Hope to see you all there!
