Description

This month we are meeting at an open space trailhead in Louisville, CO for an easy-roll group ride. The goal of the group ride is to celebrate our diverse community of aspiring and experienced outdoors people and cyclists. The scenic group ride will head north from Louisville, CO opening up a view of the Rocky Mountains to the west. Whether you want to join us for the group ride or plan to meet us afterward for a meal, this month's event will set you up to meet other riders in the community and celebrate our joy and freedom on bikes. Every month, Travl Wide offers you an outdoor-related event in order to further build a diverse and inclusive cycling and outdoor community. These trips are semi to fully outfitted, depending on available gear and equipment. This group ride is at an intermediate level that may test some riders' endurance. Road and gravel bikes are preferred. RIDE DETAILS Mileage: ~30 miles Est.
