This will be a spirited paced ride beginning at the Broken Tee Trailhead. Route is south on the Platte to Chatfield, over the dam, onto Deer Creek Canyon Road, then South Valley, to C470 trail, Bear Creek and last but not least, Mt Carbon, then back to Broken Tee with a stop at Andy's Frozen Custard, located a hundred feet off the trail and a quarter mile from the end.

This is an amazing loop. What will make it challenging is the length and climbs, not an extremely fast pace.

YOU MUST REGISTER ON MEETUP. Please do not show up with out registering. The ride will be limited to 9 riders. This ride is limited to experienced riders on road & gravel bikes, either analog or e-bikes. This ride is not for heavy urban e-bikes.

The climb in Ken Caryl is in the sun so bring lots of water. Bring lunch for a picnic in the park.
