Bike – Ralston Creek Trail to Tucker Gulch Trail to Van Bibber Trail Loop

From the CMC parking lot, we will ride northeast to join the Clear Creek and 44^th Avenue Trails.  At Easley Way we will exit those trails and ride various roads and the Van Bibber Creek Trail to Johnny Roberts Memorial Park.  From there we will ride west on the Ralston Creek Trail and various other trails and roads to Highway 93.  We will then ride south on the wide west shoulder of Highway 93 for 1.4 miles.  At the entrance to North Table Mountain Park Trailhead, we will exit the highway and ride primarily on paved bike trails including Tucker Gulch Trail back to CMC.

This 25-mile route includes 5.2 miles on a of secondary roads and 1.4 miles on a wide shoulder of Highway 93, so if you are uncomfortable riding on roads, this is not the ride for you.

After the ride there will be an optional lunch at The Golden Mill, 1012 Ford St, Golden CO 80401.
