Thursday, August 20th:

9:00 AM -12:00 PM FUN PLUS-H2/3- 27 miles-SE, 1,600’ elevation gain Meet Bill Monroe 630-386-7935 at The Pinery Trailhead, 6662 N Pinery Pkwy, Parker, CO 80134 (It’s a dead end road but it is the right road. Go to the end) . This is a beautiful ride is all on paved trails from Parker to Castle Rock and back. We will ride the Cherry Creek Trail, McMurdo Gulch Trail, Woodlands Trail, Hangman’s Gulch Trail and Plum Creek Trail. There are a few road crossings but no road riding. The McMurdo Gulch trail to Founders Parkway is challenging (6 miles, 2% average grade which includes a couple of very short 4+% climbs) as will be the return from Castle Rock to Founders Parkway. We will have several water breaks/ rest stops as needed. Turn around will be at the Festival Park in downtown Castle Rock. The last 9 miles of the ride are all downhill and it’s a blast. https://ridewithgps.com/trips/366311230
