🚴‍♀️ Pedal Time | Bear Creek Trail☀️

A summer social ride series to stay active, build community, and enjoy the outdoors—featuring steady miles on paved trails. 🚴‍♀️☀️

We kicked things off with ~15 miles in May and will continue building mileage throughout the season as we work toward 50 miles by September.

THIS MONTH'S ROUTES
🚴 Road Cyclists: Bear Creek Trail + C-470 Trail • ~26 mi • ~1,700 ft gain • ~15 mph

🚴‍♀️ Recreational Riders: Bear Creek Trail • ~13.8 mi • ~700 ft gain • ~10 mph

Come solo or bring friends (just include them in your RSVP).
✨ We create the space — you bring the energy!

📍 EVENT DETAILS
We'll start together, take a quick group photo, and then split into two pace groups.

🚴 Endurance Group (~15 mph)
I will be leading the longer route. This scenic ride follows Bear Creek Trail, the C-470 Trail, and Dinosaur Ridge, featuring foothill views, mostly paved bike paths, and a moderate climb up Dinosaur Ridge and Mt. Carbon.

🚴‍♀️ Recreational Group (~10 mph)
Enjoy a shorter, more relaxed ride along Bear Creek Trail with fewer climbs and plenty of opportunities to socialize along the way.

Since I can only lead one group, the recreational group will be self-guided using the AllTrails route below.

If anyone would like to help guide the recreational group, I can lend you my extra phone mount for navigation.

If you're riding the shorter route, please:
• Download the route before the ride
• Be comfortable navigating independently
• Consider exchanging contact information with other riders in your pace group before we start

This option is perfect for newer riders, casual cyclists, and anyone looking for a more social pace.

⏰ Start: 9:10 AM (after brief introductions)

I'll be riding the 50-mile distance in September, so this series is my way of staying consistent... and not suffering alone 😄
