Hi,

I'm Scott McFarlane and have been running with the 5:30 DTR group for
several years now. I will be leading a DTR group run on Saturday, May 13. The
run will be on the new Sharptail Ridge Trail, not far from Chatfield,
Roxborough, and Waterton Canyon. The trail is gently rolling hills, and fairly
smooth. The early group on Thursdays tends to be slower, so the pace will be
moderate, 8-11 min/mi. It's an out-and-back trail, so you can go as short or
long as you want. The Sharptail trail goes for about 4.4 miles where it meets
the Swallowtail trail. The Swallowtail trail consists of a 3.3 mile loop that
can be short-circuited in the middle for those who would like to run 10 or 12
miles.

We will start from the Sharptail Ridge Trailhead at 8:30 on Saturday
morning. Dogs and Bicycles are NOT allowed on the Sharptail Ridge
trail.

>From Santa Fe & C470: Go S on Santa Fe for 3.7mi. Turn R on Titan Rd
for 2mi. Turn L, S on Roxborough Park Rd. The park is 3.7mi S on the
dirt rd.

>From Wadsworth & C470, go S on Wadsworth 4.5mi, then turn L on
Waterton Rd, as if you were going to Waterton Cyn. Continue past
Waterton Cyn, ~1.5mi, across the river, up the hill, to the end. Turn
L on Rampart Range Rd. After 1.4mi, the road curves right and becomes
Titan Rd. Continue E another 1.1mi, to Roxborough Park Rd, the first
R. Turn R, S on Roxborough Park Rd. The park is 3.7mi S on the dirt rd.
