MON 8/24~ Ride Around Chatfield Reservoir/Lunch at Beer Garden Breck Brewry
Details
E-Bike and Traditional Bikes
Speed will be about 15 mph and sometimes faster. Also there is a steep hill to the top Dam that we will be riding once from the east side and once from the west side on our loop around the Chadfield Reservoir. Total miles about 28.
Hello Ladies,
We will meet at 9:00 am at the Pub and Grub and be ready to roll out by 9:15 am. If you need more time to get ready please adjust your arrival time.
We will then head south on the Platte River Trail and up to Chatfield Dam and then completely around Chatfield Reservoir (with a snack and restroom break about half way around - at a nice gazebo), then stop for lunch at the Beer Garden at the Breckenridge Brewry for Lunch. They have picnic tables to sit on and cool pretty looking "grass" which is astro turf. The outdoor beer garden menu is smaller than the full restaurant menu but still features the popular favorites. After lunch we will return back to the Pub and Grub parking lot.
Bike Parking: I was told by management that we can park our bikes right by our picnic table. They also have bike racks but they are not in clear sight.
Good to know:
The east side of the dam is a dirt trail for one mile and then it is gravel for about another mile. The wider your tires the easier it is to ride. It's very doable as the "worn or ridden part" is easier to ride on. We can take it slow in this area if needed. But I think everyone will do fine.
Not sure how long the ride and lunch will take but probably around 3.5 hours or a little less.
Please private message your phone number if you know I don't have it and I will send you mine. Don't forget😊!
Also, please make sure that your emergency person's name and cell number is clearly labeled in the inside of your helmet. Thanks!!
