On Sunday, 9/25 (next Sunday) we'll be shutting down the shop for the day. It's a worthy cause - we'll be celebrating the first weekend of Fall Riding, as that will be the first Sunday in Fall. We'd like for this to become an annual event so come on out to ride some fantastic Northern Front Range terrain. Meet in Lyons at the bike shop at 8:30am to caravan up to Camp Dick/Peaceful Valley. Since I don't get to close the shop down to ride often, this one will be big. The plan is to ride until our legs fall off. Be prepared for all day on steep rocky singletrack. The ride won't be big mileage wise, but will take several hours. Bring lots of water and food! Thankfully, this ride will have a couple of bail outs. For those of you that are familiar with the trails in that neck of the woods, here's the proposed route:
Leave Peaceful Valley CG heading south on Sourdough. Sourdough to the Baptiste Wapiti loop, then back north on Sourdough to Beaver Res Road. Here, we'll head west on Coney Creek road, a jeep road full of deep water and loose rocks that takes us up the the boundary of Indian Peaks Wilderness. After resting and soaking in the incredible views, it's downhill back to the campground on one of the most challenging and techincal trails in the area. We'll have beer on ice waiting at the campground. Provided there's enough interest, I'll also toss in some charcoal and some sausages for the grill! Next Sunday promises to be a great time, come on out for a little end of the season torture!
