About this event
What to Expect:
This is a causally-paced bike tour appropriate for riders of a wide ability range
Distance: 10 miles for the full route but we’ll adapt as needed for time.
Trail: The Crews Gulch Trail to Widefield Community Park and the Fountain Creek Regional Trail through the Fountain Creek Nature Center area.
The Ride: The group will meet in the parking area for John Ceresa Memorial Park where the Crews Gulch Trail meets the Fountain Creek Regional Trail. We’ll pedal up through the neighborhoods into and through Widefils Community Park. Heading back down the same way we came, we’ll head south on the Fountain Creek Regiaonal Trail through the Fountain Creek Nature Center area and south for a bit, returning back to the start location using the same trail.
Difficulty: This is a very easy ride with no major grades or hills or technical trail terrain. It is a consistent light ascent up along the Crews Gulch Trail but the pacing will be such that the group will stay together. The trails we will be on are packed natural surface for the most part, so a bike with sider tires is most appropriate as are shoes that allow for walking when we stop to visit key spots.
What to Bring: Bring a bike in good working order, one with wider tires would be preferred. Helmets must be worn for the ride. Bring water, snacks, and sunscreen along for an approximately 10 mile and 2 hour ride. Wear clothing appropriate to the conditions.
Meeting Spot: The parking lot of John Ceresa Memorial Park in Fountain, CO. It is tucked into a neighborhood on the west side of US Hwy 85/87 (CanAm Hwy) Map link HERE
