Sunday Funday - Carter Lake + Nelson
Details
Howdy, all!
This week's route will take us to Carter Lake! We'll roll from the shop through Hygiene, north along 75th/83rd, and onto County Road 8E for a counterclockwise ascent of Carter Lake. After regrouping at the top of the dam, we'll continue along the lake before descending to North County Road 23, then east to County Road 21 (which turns into 95th heading into Longmont). We'll head south before turning back onto Woodland, returning through Hygiene, and eventually taking Nelson back to the shop via 9th.

This will be a largely Zone 2-3ish pace. The two "attack segments" will be (1) from the ranger station at the bottom of Carter Dam to the top of the dam, and (2) a TT from 95th/Woodland to 75th/66. We'll regroup at the top of the dam and at the intersection of 75th/66.
While we'll plan to stick together, please bring adequate food, supplies, and water to take care of yourself in case you peel off from the group. There is a restroom at Carter Lake, but the water fountains were not yet operational as of March 20.
