GPX file available upon request.

It's a relatively flat route north of Fort Collins. This will be a no-drop ride at a moderate pace. We'll regroup periodically so we all stay together. Expect this ride to take 3-4 hours. This moderate pace should be good Zone 2 training for all your upcoming winter adventures.

Long range weather forecast is favorable, but I'll keep an eye on it all week. We'll go as long as it's above 40F for most of the ride and dry.

Thanks to the Bike Sports crew for the curated route!

New Belgium Brewery, 500 Linden Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524. We roll out at 10AM. Don't be late!
