Let's Ride the Ralston Switchback Loop @ 9:00 AM!!!

ATTENTION:
-I'm changing the start time to 9:00 am to beat the chance of afternoon thunderstorms.

-WE WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE SHOP AT THE START OF THE RIDE THIS WEEK!!!

-WE WILL BREAK INTO 2 GROUPS. THE FIRST GROUP WILL BE SELF DIRECTED. THEY WILL DETERMINE REGROUP STOPS AND WILL PROBABLY HAVE AN AVERAGE SPEED OF OVER 16 MPH.
I WILL RIDE WITH THE SECOND GROUP. IT WILL PROBABLY HAVE AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 13-14 MPH AND WILL REGROUP AT OUR USUAL SPOTS.

If you haven't ridden the Ralston Switchbacks, you really haven't experienced all the Front Range Trails have to offer. We don't ride this route very often, but it is Great Fun!!! Kind of like a Time Trial and a Tilt-A-Whirl all mixed together. Did I mention it's 47 miles? YES WE CAN!!! Let's leave the Trek Store Broomfield at 9:00 AM. You will want to download this route if you are...um...directionally challenged. We will stop at the Wheat Ridge Rec Center for a little break with flushy toilets! And I highly suggest you bring a snack for this ride.

Bring your bike lights for this ride as we will be riding some bike lanes along streets. You don't want to be "One of Those" without lights this Saturday. Did you know that lights make you 230% more visible? Really!

As always, bring a helmet, spare tube and water bottle; and leave those silly earphones at home.

New riders are always welcome, just show up a few minutes early to get signed in.

Let's be aired up and ready to ride at 9:00 am.
