Name: 6th Annual Giro D'Fruita (3 ride days)
Start: 2026-04-27T23:30:00.000Z
Location: Fruita

Ann and I recently sold our home of 28 years and moved to a cluster home to unlock some equity from our old house for retirement. Join us for a tour of our new home and a discussion about our experience in making this move. We will discuss the financial and lifestyle advantages of swapping your current home for a standalone cluster home.

Advantages of Standalone Cluster Homes:

* Layout: Typically more of a ranch style with fewer stairs.
* Shared Maintenance and Convenience: Cluster homes typically have professional management that handles maintenance of shared spaces and amenities, such as gardens, pools, and security systems. This reduces the homeowner's responsibility and hassle compared to maintaining everything independently in a traditional home.
* Enhanced Security: Cluster homes are often in gated communities with shared security features, providing a safer environment than many traditional standalone homes, where security is the owner’s responsibility.
* Community and Amenities: These homes foster a sense of community with shared recreational facilities (e.g., pools, gyms, BBQ areas), offering social opportunities that are especially attractive for those seeking a communal living experience.
* Lower Cost and Accessibility: Cluster homes generally have lower entry costs and are more affordable than standalone homes because the land area is smaller and shared, making them appealing to younger professionals, retirees, and buyers seeking convenience and affordability.
* Lock-and-Leave Lifestyle: For busy professionals or frequent travelers, cluster homes offer hassle-free living with managed upkeep, allowing easy lock-and-leave security benefits.
* Lower taxes and property insurance.

The Kick-off Dinner will be on 4/27, Monday night at 5:30pm. Ride days will be 4/28, 4/29, 4/30.

Individual day events will be posted separately, including ride and post-ride details.

Most rides will be at a blue/intermediate level with moments of green and black mixed in. We will ride what we can and walk what we can't and have the wisdom to know the difference.

At a minimum, we will be doing the following rides:
4/28 - Kokopelli Trails, including Horsetheif.
4/29 - Western Rim
4/30 - 18 Road Trails

Ride leaders, please include in your event description where you plan to go for beers/dinner afterward, your phone number, and what you will be driving, so people can find you at the trailhead.

If you are a registered ride leader for this group, feel free to post whatever you have in mind for this year. Don't worry about overlapping with another scheduled event. It would be great to have multiple ride options on all three days.

Ride participants should be group members and have RSVP'd to the individual ride events. This includes guests of group members.

We will not limit attendance for our rides, but will need multiple ride leaders when we have big groups. Please let the ride leader know if you are willing to co-lead and keep track of participants.

Attendance at all the events is not required. Join us at the locations and on the days that work for you.

Most of these trails will require a mountain bike rather than a gravel or other hybrid-style bike. Check with the ride leader of the event if you are unsure whether your bike is suitable for the terrain.

Feel free to put your questions in Event Chat or contact me directly at mspoor@milehimodern.com, 303-669-9107.
