Loveland Loop, Lunch at Jamoka Joe's, Swim in Boyd Lake

Description: Pace will be 10-12mph so anyone can join. No drops. This is a 35 mile ride (padded shorts recommended) from Fort Collins around Loveland and back to Fort Collins. We'll stop at Jamoka Joe's for lunch, and then head back along Boyd Lake, where we can get in the water. It's a beautiful ride. There is one tough/short climb early in the ride if you're coming from Fort Collins. The rest is rolling hills. If you live in Loveland, we can meet up with you on the way and do a partial ride. The route is all paved bike trails with rolling hills. The ride will take approximately 3 hours at this slower pace, and plan on it being a bit longer due to stopping for refreshments.

Meetup location: Just take Mason Trail South until you hit the Troutman Park Bridge. You will see us there. We'll stop in Loveland mid-ride for refreshments. If you live in Loveland, let us know where you'd like to meet up so long as it's on the trail, and we'll pick you up for a partial ride. If you live in a neighboring city, you’re also welcome to park at my house or at the very eastern end of Troutman Parkway, where there is parking.

Notes: Bring any tubes, tools, water, sun screen, sealant, etc, that you think you'll need. I'll bring tools and can likely help anyone out with that part of it, but understand that some multi-tools can be incompatible with different bikes, valves, etc.
