July 4th Early Ride to Franktown

This is an early and quick Franktown ride to kick off the Holiday Weekend.

This ride starts as the RC Willey's parking lot. We head down Veterans and turn down Old 395. We go down 12 miles and turn down Franktown Road and enjoy 4.3 miles of its rolling beauty. We then turn up old 395 again and ride up to Andrew Lane for a short spin around horse country. We return to old 395 and continue to Veterans and turn up Geiger for half a mile to take Equestrian, Western Skies, Rio Wrangler and finally Steamboat back to the start.
