Mtn Bike – Ridgway Area Trails (RAT)
Ride a 12 mile loop on the main (and most fun) RAT trails. We will ride up to the top via Big Cheese and Speedy Gonzolas and drop down the back side taking Ratical to the Plagueground and then work our way back on DoubleCrosser to Ratimus Maximus and back to where we started.

The RAT trails are mostly dirt single track with a few tight corners on the switchbacks. The initial climb up Big Cheese is grind but the reward is lots of down hill and the climb back to the top is spread out so it's not as tough. There are lots of great views of the Cimarron Mountains and the Ridgway reservoir along the way.
Meet at the main RAT parking lot off of Co Rd 10 at 10:15 am. We will start riding at 10:30 am.
