Saturday September 8th rides

Hello Group Riders,

We've got two rides planned for you this Saturday. Justin will take the intermediate riders out to Golden via 470 and Rooney Road. Dan will take the beginner riders out on a 20ish mile loop around Bear Creek to the Platte and across Mineral back to the shop. Both rides meet at 9am and ride out at 9:30am. The weather is looking to be nice for Saturday, but make sure you bring fluids, a spare tube, and sunscreen.
