Spin Into the Setting Sun 2026 (A/B1/B2 at 5:30, B3 at 5:00)
Details
WHAT: Season #14 of our Weekly Tuesday night 18-31 mile road ride. Distance varies based on the sunset time; longest ride is in June/July, the shorter rides are in March and September.
ROUTE: Sugar+Wilfred
25 miles north and east from Dickens. After a quick spin past the old Sugar Mill, we'll head north around Ish Reservoir (one mile of good dirt). The northernmost point will be Wilfred Road, a pleasantly bucolic trip over to County Line Road. At mile 14.6, we'll pass through the spot where three counties meet: Boulder, Larimer and Weld.
** Note **: The starting point for this ride will be at Dickens Farm Nature Area. We'll congregate at 300 Suns for food and libations after the ride.
We typically self-organize into three groups at the start of the ride:
GROUP A: This group will be at a faster pace (19+mph average)
GROUP B1: This group will be at a medium/fast pace (17 to 19 mph average)
GROUP B2: Rides in the 15-17 mph range. This a NO-DROP group and we will strive to wait for everyone at particular re-gathering points on the route.
GROUP B3: Rides in the 11-13 mph range and starts 30 minutes early (at 5:00 pm). Please comment below if you plan to ride in this group so we'll know to look for you.
NOTE ABOUT SAFETY: The time of day this ride takes place is typically during heavier traffic times; our #1 goal is always to keep everyone safe, and to keep the car/bike relationship harmonious. With the large group sizes we often have, please ride single file and within the bike lanes, and do not obstruct traffic.
