Afternoon Mountain Bike Ride at Horsetooth

Hangout suggested by Mark!

Evening Mountain Bike Ride
He calls it the "Shoreline to Valley Loop Clockwise"

- Meet at Soderburg trailhead (Larimer County Parks pass required for parking)
- Head north on the Swan Johnson Trail
- Shoreline Trail to Nomad Trail (east side, then Valley Trail Loop
****** Social stop at picnic area (far south end of Lory State Park, North end of the ride loop)
- Returning on West side of Valley Loop trail back to Soderburg trailhead.

Total duration with halfway stop should be about 1.5 hours.

Difficulty: Green
7 miles, 550' elevation gain
Description: rolling singletrack with very gentle elevation changes and minimal technical challenges.

We can gauge skills of the group the day of the ride and make sure we have a lead and a caboose.
Generally this is expected to be a slower/beginner pace.

Forecast high in FoCo is 93 degrees with a slight chance of rain, probably a bit cooler near the reservoir. Mark is used to riding when it's nearly 100 but would love input if this will still work for those who are interested in doing this as a Hangout!

Horsetooth Tavern usually has music Thursday nights so we can stop in after the ride.
