New Time 8:30 Cherry Creek Reservoir from East Arapahoe Trail Head~16 Miles

Hello Ladies,
NEW REPOST and NEW TIME MEET 8:30 and NEW DEPART 8:45

Let's ride round the Cherry Creek Reservoir along the Cherry Creek Trail. The ride will be moderate and the speed will be 10-14 mph depending on the grade of the trail/road. The NE corner of the ride is a little steep but doable - I just take my time and take it easy.

We will meet on July 1st at 8:30 AM at the East Arapahoe Trail Head and start biking north by 8:45 am. From the parking lot we will travel East on the Cherry Creek trail. There is a little hill to climb up and onto a short ride along a neighborhood which is very doable. Then continue on the Cherry Creek Trail onto and around the Reservoir.
We will continue north and when we get to the E. Lake View Rd we will crossover and continue on the Cherry Creek Bike Trail. We will stop at Diana's favorite place pictured above for a very short break at about the first one third portion of the ride.

We will continue to ride west and then leave out of the Reservoir on to crossing the street and then immediately continue again on the paved Cherry Creek Trail. This part is a nice down hill. But what comes down must come up so as we get closer to the NE Corner it does get a little steep. But not too bad. I will be taking it slow and steady in this area of the trail. As we reach the NE upper paved corner (the 225 exit onto Parker Rd) there is little more steepness. Then there is a nice downhill. Yea!!!! Soon after the street light we re-enter into the Cherry Creek Reservoir Area. Then we stay on the road and at one point enjoy another nice downhill ride down the road. We will then turn left off from the road and bike back onto the Cherry Creek Bike Trail that will lead us back to the East Arapahoe Trail Head.
