About this event
🚴🏽THURSDAY Nov 12 🚴♀️BIKE Clear Creek Trail West & Lunch/ Snack at Cafe 13
❎**NOTE CHANGE IN MEETING PLACE*** Slight change in meeting place and in our route The newest section of the Clear Creek Trail just opened! So now we can ride another ~1.5 miles up the canyon to Huntsman Trailhead!! I’m really looking forward to seeing this new section. So in order to keep the mileage the same (23 miles), we will meet at Prospect Park instead of Anderson Park.
Restrooms: restrooms are available at Prospect Park and at various trailheads & other places along the trail (porta potties & nice pit toilets)
Meet at PROSPECT PARK : 9:45am Start Riding: 10:00am Round Trip: 23 miles Anticipated average speed: 10-12 mph
Both E-bikes and traditional bikes are welcome
Let’s Ride WEST on the CLEAR CREEK TRAIL, starting at PROSPECT Park , going through Golden, and riding all the way to the end of the trail in Clear Creek Canyon. The canyon part is absolutely beautiful!!
We will have a good amount of climbing to do as we ride west, but it will be a nice downhill on the way back. Please note that the speeds will very greatly because we may be riding as slowly as 5 mph up the steepest part, and we may be coasting 15 mph down that part on the return. We will stop to regroup as often as we need to, because this is a no drop ride— as all our rides are. And we will stop for a bit longer break near our turn around point, where there’s a restroom. Great photo opportunities as we ride the ~4 miles up the canyon!!
On the way back, we’ll stop for lunch / snack at Cafe 13 , before we finish the ride. Be sure to bring a lock if you want to lock up your bike.. We’re planning to eat on the patio where we can view our bikes the whole time.
Meeting Point: Driving to meeting place: When you turn off of 44th Ave, follow the road all the way to the parking lot at the end.
Do message me your cell number if you have not done so yet, and I will send you mine. This is very important, especially for last minute changes & communications! Please contact me if you have any questions; you can also post a question above in the event chat section.
