June 1, okay then. You guys down there in Denver can plan this thing, and the rest of us will show up. I was wondering where you all rode near downtown. I see lots of bikes out in the burbs, but not that many in the heavy traffic areas.
Maybe the next one should be a road ride out into the countryside. Sounds nice.

The REI "flagship" store downtown is located at:
1416 Platte St
Denver, CO 80202
(303) 756-3100
The store sits just west of Confluence Park - and the beginning of the Cherry Creek Trail. It also serves as a midpoint on the Platte River Trail which runs all the way from Littleton to Thornton. There are numerous out-and-back or loop road rides that can be launched from there.
funrover - where are you located? I know you mentioned Winter Park - do you live up there?
As for ride dates, I'll have to miss June 1st - but July 27th should work.

June 1st might work for me, depends on my work schedule, I'm the "cover guy" now, so I won't know what I'm working that week until probably the last week or so of this month. If I can make it I'll be there!

Yeah, I work for our public bus system, and every bus scheduled has to be on the road every day, so basically I cover shifts for anyone who is on vacation during that week. If no one is on vacation I get to make my own hours helping the dispatchers and supervisors out in the office. (NICE!)
So, I won't know until a week or two before these rides if I'll be off work or not. But, it beats the heck out of never having a Saturday off to do a group ride!

Yeah, the time'll work, I may need to come down the night before, otherwise I'll just wake up early and hit the road around 6 a.m. But it sounds good as long as I get the day off work!

Zin - Do you know the Denver area trails? I really have no idea. I have the Road Biking Colorado book but that's the only knowledge I have.

For anyone interested, I lead rides every Monday and Tuesday from Parker (jordan and E470). These are "gentle" rides - 20 miles or so.
Let me know, and I will put you on our email distribution list.
dnvrfox@aol.com
(I will be out of town the next two Monday and Tuesdays, resuming rides May 26 and 27.

Funrover, I know a good portion of them, yes. I'd be happy lead the ride. Y'all just let me know the distance you wish to go, and how much climbing.

Gotcha. No problem. I'm sure there will be others who know the trails too joining us. At that distance, we'll have to do an out-n-back route to stay on the trails. Hope that works for everyone. There won't be much climbing if we stay on the trails at this distance. Now, if we rode to Golden or Morrison there would be a bit of climbing involved, even on the trail system.

That sounds good! Personally, I love climbs. . . but I've never done a group ride before so this would be a good time NOT to do too much serious climbing. . . It's looking like I'll be able to make it!

ok, guys and gals you mind if I attend the 1 june meet as well? I am in Denver now and will still be there unitl mid June so I should be able to make the 1 June meet. I am setup for road only as I just picked up a new Allez Elite in Aurora last month, all my MTB stuff is in AZ.
Oh and for those in the Denver area, the bicycle villages have group rides each weekend (saturdays mostly) and have lots of different levels of riders.

The more the better!
Just to be clear, we are starting at 9:00AM, right? I am posting this on our Club Hypoxia web site too, so we may have some folks from there join too, if y'all don't mind.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!
