Wow! The end of July is here already! Take advantage of the summer weather and join us for one of our no drop group rides.
The intermediate riders will head out on a loop around the 470 trail with a detour up Ken Caryl and down Deer Creek. It's about 34 miles total.
The advanced riders will head out that way then continue up Highgrade.
There will not be a beginner or recreational ride this weekend, but keep an eye out for a future beginner ride.
All rides leave promptly at 9:30am. Bring lots to drink and sunscreen.
See you there!

Ride for Saturday the 23rd
Tomorrow is looking to be around a cool 93 degrees - not quite as hot as today should be! We're running one ride tomorrow, a recreational ride to REI with an option for the intermediate riders to extend it by going out and around Sloan's Lake and back while the recreational riders chat at REI.
This is a great ride for those newer to cycling who are looking to increase their miles - a relatively flat 33+ mile ride with a nice place to rest before heading back.
The regular intermediate riders know this is a great ride to work on maintaining speed, with an easy extension around Sloan's to add some more miles.
We'll all regroup back at REI and head back to the shop.
Ride leaves promptly at 9:30am, so arrive early to check in, and sign a waiver if you haven't already. Bring plenty of fluids, but remember we will be able to refill at REI. Don't forget the sunscreen and extra tubes/air.
See you in the morning!

Rides for Saturday, July 16th - Recreational and Advanced
What crazy monsoon weather we're having! I was fortunate enough to get a ride in yesterday evening after work, and missed the storm by a good 2 minutes! Then the down pour started.....
Saturday is looking to be dry, and fortunately, the mornings have been nice if not down right hot! This weekend, we'll host a recreational ride out to REI and back, a nice 34 miler that's relatively flat. This is a no-drop ride, which means we wait for everyone to catchup at the intersections, and try to stay together. This is meant to be a fun, casual ride for anyone and everyone!
The advanced group will head out to Golden via 470 trail and climb Lookout Mountain before returning to the shop. This ride is not for the faint of heart. The distance is long,the pace fast, and the climbs are decent.
Both rides leave promptly at 9:30am. Arrive a bit early to check in, look over your bike, and to pickup any tubes or snacks you may need for the ride. There's a pump inside the front of the store for those who need to check their tire pressure before heading out. If you need anything else, ask one of our staff members - they're there to help whether you need your saddle adjusted or help picking out some summer gloves or tubes.
For everyone's enjoyment, please select a ride that matches your ability. Nothing ruins what should be a fun time by getting into something you aren't ready for, out "in the middle of nowhere", and having to call for a pick-up. If you aren't sure which ride you should do, ask one of your group riders - be honest with us and yourself, and you'll have a great ride!
I'm looking forward to morning ride!! See you all Saturday :)

July 9th rides
Hope no one floated away yesterday! The weather for tomorrow is looking to have the usual afternoon showers, so I think we're safe for morning rides.
The Beginner ride will head out for a loop around Bear Creek Park. This is a 19 mile ride:
The Intermediate ride will head out Belleview to the 470 trail to tackle Dinosaur Ridge and Red Rocks:
While the rain cools it off some, it's supposed to be in the 90s so make sure you bring plenty of fluids for the ride. As usual, we roll out promptly at 9:30am, so arrive early to check in.

Rides for Saturday, July 2nd
Can you believe it's already July??? I know I'm looking forward to a three day weekend. With all the BBQs and activities this weekend, why not start the weekend off with a bike ride to burn off some calories before consuming more? :)
This week we will host a recreational ride and an advanced ride.
The recreational ride will be a 30 mile counterclockwise loop to the 470 trail, up the Platte, and across the Bear Creek trail back to the shop:
The advanced ride will be a 45 mile ride out the Platte to the Cherry Creek trail and back across Dartmouth:
It's looking hot for tomorrow, so make sure you hydrate well beforehand and bring plenty of fluids with you. We leave at 9:30am, so make sure you're there by 9:15 to check in and what not.
Looking forward to riding tomorrow, and see you all there!
