Here's a copy of Ryan's email to anyone interested: If you would like to contact Ryan directly, email him at patrol@...
Hello everyone! I'm sending out an invite for a MTB ride followed-up by a little meeting to get folks together and start developing the group a bit more. Feel free to bring friends and family along to the ride or meeting! So here are the details... MTB Ride (AM): Saturday October 4th meet at the upper parking lot in Cheyenne Canyon at 7:30am. This is the intersection of High Drive, Cheyenne Canyon, and Gold Camp Road. The plan is to ride up Gold Camp to Jones Park to enjoy some great fall colors and then have a ripping good time descending back down to High Drive. This is a no-drop ride and we will regroup at various locations along the way to keep everyone together. The pace will be social all morning, except on the downhills of course! ;-) Total time will be approximately 4-5 hours. * Normally I wouldn't choose this long of a route for the first group ride, but it's my birthday weekend and too good of a ride to pass up! * Meeting (PM): We can plan to meet in the afternoon at Trinity Brewing Company on 1466 Garden of the Gods Road and hang out for a little while. Stay as long or as short as you want; this is just to get together, hang out as a group, and chat a little bit ab out how the patrol will work. By the way, if you haven't looked at the menu at Trinity Brewing yet, definitely check it out! Nothing like great food after a long day in the saddle riding in the dirt! :) Please reply to let me know if you are interested and able to make either of these events. See you on the trail! Ryan
