    Default Bicycle ride anyone ? (looking for a place for our 2nd ride)

    Ok, we need to get to gether for a bicycle ride on some weekend. (I can probably do weekends and some fridays with some pre arrangements)

    I've got road and Mtb. I prefeer a MTB ride.

    I've got my EBB (Evil Black Bike(Cannondale Prophet)) and a Cannondale road race bike (circa 1989..but she still goes!(I overhauled her last year))


    I think we should start out easy, assess everyones initial capabilities (not to mention its the start of the 'season' and a few of us may not be in the greatest shape)



    I do have a MTB that I can loan, but it does NOT have any suspension (Trek 950)

    I have a roof and rear mounted bike racks so we can 'carpool' if needed (4 comfortably in my suv (including myself))


    I have and suggest anyone going have the following:

    Helmet
    gloves
    repair kit (tools/multitool, pump, patchkit, tire levers)
    water (bottles and/or camelbak)
    eye protection
    snack (~Cliff bar)


    Suggested:
    Small first aid kit (I haven't put one together, but will soon)
    1 or 2 spare tubes
    sunscreen

    I am up for it. Lare of the Bear is a good easy ride. You can make it as long as you want or as short as you want.

    There is one good climb at the begining and then it is just short rolling hills for as far as you want to go. There are not to many technical spots most of it is just a single track rolling dirt trail with a tech thrown in here and there.

    I rode in 12 miles on it one time and turned around.

    Sounds interesting. I own a Santa Cruz Heckler and my wife rides a superlight. We have not hit the trails in a long time though. We did Hail Valley Ranch once and we took a long weekend to Fruita a few years ago (some nice trails there).

    Friday/Saturday are probably my only days though. Mostly Saturday I think.

    My bike definitely needs some maintenance/overhaulage before I hit the trails. I'm definitely down for a ride, but not this soon.

    I cant do Sundays.

    I can do Fridays and Saturdays though.

    I am going to try to make it to the three gun shoot next week so that day is out also.

    I vote for this one then. It is in Morrison so not far from Denver. It is a easy trail. A real good trail for the first season ride.
