Older Than Mt Carbon & Bear Creek Celebratory Ride with Peter R

11:00 AM INT H2-27 (1000 ft elevation) SW
Older Than Mt Carbon and Bear Creek Celebratory Ride
Meet Peter Rudy (303 406 3709) at the west end of the Broken Tee Golf Course parking lot, next to the South Platte River Trail Rest Area. 2101 W. Oxford, Englewood 80110 NOTE: The bathrooms and water at the Trail rest area are closed for the winter. You can use the main Broken Tee clubhouse, on the north side of the parking lot.

Not that we need an excuse, we ride to celebrate Peter Woufe's birthday (older than Mt Carbon) and wish him well on his departure for even WARMER climates for the winter. And really, you gotta ride on a 60 degree day in the last half of December.

I have labeled this INT due to pace. This ride is geared to a consistent (not blistering) pace (15+-). I have gotten feedback that several of you appreciate having a consistent pace above 12mph (at least on the flats). This ride is appropriate for analog road/gravel bikes, and road/gravel e-bikes. It is not appropriate for mountain, urban, cruiser or commuter analog or e-bikes

The ride is limited to 15 people - you will need to sign up and RSVP on Meet-up. Please do not just show up. Text with questions. THE RIDE IS WEATHER DEPENDENT. Since all riders WILL BE signed up on Meet Up, I then can instantly and effortlessly contact you by the email you used on Meet Up, should the weather change for the worse. Also, since you will signed up on Meet-up, you can DM me.

From Broken Tee, north on the South Platter to Bear Creek, west on Bear Creek and up to Mt Carbon. A stop at the golf course rest area at the mountain top. Then down and around the park on the C470 trail, onto Morrison Road, east, for a bit back to the Bear Creek Trail and to our point of beginning. The only road part is Morrison Rd, but it has the widest shoulder I have ever seen. Purposedly built for cyclists. BUT, NO PASSING ON THE RIGHT
