Denver Outdoor Adventures

Let's get out and ride after work!

ABOUT THE RIDE:
Road & gravel bikes.

The route is ALL paved - No gravel.

There are several route options off the S. Platte River bike trail. We typically ride to the far South side of Chatfield State Park.

Expect 25-30 miles and 15-18 mph average pace. We can ride a bit longer or shorter depending on group needs.

WHERE TO MEET
Let's meet at the pinned location (Platte River Bar and Grill) here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/cwVZiVpEnJfbDuRw8

Please meet at the parking lot behind the Platte River Bar and Grill. Be ready to go by 5:30. If you have not shown up nor messaged me, we likely will not wait if you are late. Please message me 720-319-8165 if needed. MeetUp messages are very unreliable and I likely won't receive them.

We usually grab a beer and food after the ride.

NOTE: Please use Event Comments for questions. You can also DM me if needed.

NOTE: MeetUp has increased the fees that it charges Organizers (me) to host FREE events for you. I now pay $350 a year to have this group and host events for YOU. please consider donating to this group to help cover my costs.

Come join us for food, drinks, and conversation.

This event is for my Denver Outdoor Adventures and Denver Outdoor Networking MeetUp groups to meet and connect. We'll be finishing up a bike ride and hanging out here afterward. There will generally be 3-7 of us there, not including those signed up here. Come connect with us, and let's plan our next outdoor event/adventure!

The location is a popular place and has limited spots available. Please RSVP and let us know if your plans change so I know how many seats to save.

We generally sit on the south side of the back deck for line of sight on the bikes.

## Details

Let's get out and ride after work, summer is upon us!

ABOUT THE RIDE:
Road & gravel bikes.
This a fun and lively ride, low key, with laughs and good food after. The route is ALL paved - No gravel. About 80% bike path and 20% low traffic streets, like through Cherry Creek res. Blinking taillights and blinking headlights are highly encouraged in general because drivers are crazy, although not really on this route. We're getting to the time of the year when headlights are needed.

Route for your GPS
We will be doing the OG route. Meeting at Illegal Pete's.
https://www.strava.com/routes/3282412268524481948

Please download the route to your bike computer or phone just in case as there are a couple tricky intersectons on the climb, mostly we'll stick together.

What we've all been waiting for, the pace
This is a party pace ride, mellow spirited. It's not blazingly fast, nor slow either, around 16-17mph end of ride average. We'll definitely have spots where we have a little fun with each other and other spots where it's super casual. We will have several regroup points along the way and won't leave anyone behind. This is a no drop ride.

WHERE TO MEET
Let's meet at the pinned location here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/aE7X1TVQ947hQpZ56

Illegal Pete's

Please meet in the parking lot east of Illegal Pete's and have wheels on the ground by 5:15.

Afterwards we'll grab a beer and a bite to eat on the patio at Smashburger.

13 miles of fairly easy single track. Climbs are short but punchy. A couple fun downhill sections.

This is considered an "easier" route but you need to be in good physical condition for this ride to be fun.

Happy Hour nearby afterwards.

During the winter months we meet on the North side of the park along Morrison road.

The rest of the year we meet at the Fox Hollow golf course parking lot here https://maps.app.goo.gl/qnQYsZdWY5HvfAwXA
