Gravel Graceland Ride - Waverly, Dead Pig, Kestrel Fields, Poudre Trail
Details
A very enjoyable, quick 58-miles, this route shoots you north through Waverly before heading west onto “Dead Pig Road”. On the north side of Dead Pig, you can also find a little Madonna shrine. You’ll then shoot back south with some meandering through the Laporte neighborhood, Reservoir Ridge, and Kestral Fields before linking back up with the Poudre Trail to head back to where you started. About 1700 ft. We'll ride at an intermediate pace (14ish mph). No drop. It's about 50/50 pavement/gravel. See the deets on the route here: https://www.bikesportsco.com/solid-routes/waverly-dead-pig GPX file available on request if you're into that kind of thing. Start/end at New Belgium Brewery. We roll out promptly at 8. Don't be late!
The weather for Saturday looks near perfect for late October. Sunny and 71F high (cooler at 8am of course).
