Waterton Canyon Friday Bike Ride

About this event

This is a little later than my usual events--I need the canyon to warm up a bit! The Waterton Canyon trail provides a beautiful ride along the South Platte River. It's home to a plethora of wildlife (Rocky Mtn Bighorn Sheep, deer, rattlesnakes, and I've even seen a bear), and because the road is wide and flat(ish), it is a pretty easy 6-mile ride up to the dam.

Since this is an out and back, folks can ride as far as they want and then turn around; you cannot get lost on this trail. Since the road is gravel, you need either a mountain bike or a gravel bike (or you need really good tires on your road bike). If people decide they want a bit more mileage, we can ride into Chatfield State Park after we get back to the parking lot.

The parking lot for the trailhead is quite large but may be getting full at this time of the morning; I'll be at the crosswalk at 9:55am. We will begin riding at 10:05. Oh, and helmets are required.

If you sign up, please show up unless you change your RSVP (even if you have to change your RSVP at the last minute). I completely understand that things come up.
