We'll maintain a steady pace, so we can get some cardio exercise.

Denver area people will meet at 304 10th St. in Golden at 10:00. We'll all meet together at the Eldorado Canyon park and ride (at the NE corner of the Hwy.93/ Eldorado Springs Dr. intersection) at around 10:30. We'll carpool from there, to avoid the parking fee for non-Boulder County vehicles.
