This week we'll be hosting 2 group rides!
Our intermediate group will head out to Red Rocks via 470 and Dinosaur Ridge.
The advanced riders will take Wadsworth to Deer Creek to go up High Grade, down City View to Turkey Creek, and back down the canyon to Wadsworth back to the store.
Both rides will depart at 9:30am. We appreciate everyone arriving earlier to check their bikes and tire pressure, get any snacks or drinks you may need, and sign waivers. It's going to be another hot day, so bring plenty to drink and don't forget the sunscreen!

Group ride to REI
Tomorrow we will host one group ride out to REI and back. This ride is considered recreational, and is a relatively flat 34 miles along the Platte River with a break to rest a bit at REI and a chance to refill our water bottles.
Make sure you wear/bring sunscreen, spare tubes, and cash to get snacks or drinks at REI, and arrive early to check-in and make sure you and your bike are ready to go at 9:30am. It's looking to be a nice a day for a ride! Looking forward to see you all tomorrow :)

Group rides for August 13th
Hope everyone is having a great week. This week, we'll host 2 rides - a recreational and an advanced.
The recreational riders will head out Bear Creek Trail to the Platte Trail, and go south into Chatfield. After climbing the dam road, we'll head back the way we came. This is a relatively flat ride along the river with a modest climb up the dam at the mid way point, and another climb at the end to get back to the shop.
The advanced riders will go out to Lookout to climb up the Golden side and down 40 via the 470 trail and Belleview.
Both rides leave at 9:30am.
Hope to see you there!

Ride for Saturday, August 6th
Wow! I just type "August" - can't believe it's already August!
Tomorrow we'll be hosting one recreational/intermediate ride up to Red Rocks. This ride takes us through Bear Creek Park, then up Alameda and Dinosaur Ridge where we'll drop down into Red Rocks. We'll ride over to the Amphitheatre and those who want to can climb up to the top. For you beginners, you don't have to go up there - it's an up and back down the same way, so you can wait at the base in the lot. We'll head through the park to Morrison Road, and head back to the shop. It's about 25 miles with some decent climbs.
We will leave at 9:30am, so arrive a few early to check your tire pressure, fill your water bottles, and get any snacks or tubes that you may need. It's supposed to be a hot one, and this ride is a workout, so bring lots to rehydrate with! And don't forget the sunscreen :)
See you in the morning.

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.
