HRCC Masters

RESCHEDULED TO MAY 13th

First, please note the earlier 9:00am start time as we switch to our Summer schedule. And while this route is listed as "mixed surface", I am going to recommend gravel tires for this ride. You will just be a lot more comfortable and in control, since only 48% of the route will be on pavement. Initially, we will get on the Foothills Trail and make a beeline to the East West Trail. We will jump on and off the East West as we make our way East to Surrey Ridge, and then North to Lone Tree, where we will ride through the Bluffs Regional Park. Then we take the Grand View Trail to pavement and back to the shop. This will be a ride of 32.9 miles and 2,276 feet of elevation change.

Thursday's coffee ride visits the land of backyard tennis courts and swimming pools, where fortunately there is very little traffic. We will stop for coffee at mile 35, at The Enchanted Grounds on Colorado Blvd. The ride will be 37.7 miles with 1,852 feet of ascent.

I would like to invite everyone to join me on the 2025 Bike MS ride from Boulder to Greeley and back. This is a brand new route this year and I am really excited about doing it. If you have never participated in one of these rides, you will find it to be one of the best organized and supported cycling events in Colorado. For more details about participating or volunteering, please visit:

I have been involved with the Bike MS event in Colorado, either as a volunteer or a fundraising rider, since 2013. My commitment to this very worthy cause stems from the fact that both of my little sisters have been diagnosed with MS. If you are unable to participate in this event, but would like to make a donation to this effort, please visit my fundraising page at:
