ROUTE: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54364369
This week’s ride is 26.6 miles with 1,299 of elevation gain. We’ll head up Cottonwood Creek trail and then hit a few hills east of Austin Bluffs Rd before heading back via Saddle Rock Road and Flintridge Drive. We will also ride on portions of the Rock Island and Shooks Run trails on the return.
The Wednesday Morning Ride is an intermediate (12-14 mph avg.) no-drop ride with catch-up points along the route. There may be a planned rest stop along the route, and we will have a “sweep” and will regroup as necessary to ensure no rider is left behind. The ride leader has published a Ride with GPS link to the route above. You can download a free version of the app from your phones app store.
We will ride 18-30 miles depending on weather and road conditions. Unless noted, we will leave from Legacy Plaza off the I-25 and Centennial exit and ride in different directions each week.
Please arrive early enough to check your bikes ABC’s (air, brakes, chain) so we can roll out on time. Helmets must be worn whenever you are riding the bike.
If you plan to ride, please RSVP to let the ride leader and others know you will be there. You will be required to sign a waiver prior to the start of the ride.
NOTE: With uncertain weather patterns, this ride may become a “show-n-go”. The leader will update the Meetup event as soon as possible. The group that does show agrees where to go together. Be prepared with a sign-sheet. Instructions for where to send it after the ride are at the bottom of the first page.
