TWO Rides for Saturday, March 10th

Hello Group Riders! The weather is looking good for tomorrow, and we'll be hosting two rides - a recreational/intermediate ride, and an advanced ride.
Both rides will head out to REI along the Platte. The first group will do an out and back to REI (approx. 30 miles); the advanced riders will head out to Golden from REI via Clear Creek, then back to the shop from Rooney Road to C470 trail.
Come dressed in layers as it looks like it will heat up pretty quickly, bring fluids, and an extra tube. As usual, we meet at 9am to check in, and head out at 9:30am.
