Ride Description: Nice early season ride that will help condition riders who are transitioning from winter sports to cycling.  Most of the ride is flat with a mild climb up to the reservoir.  Very little street riding, which makes this an ideal ride to hone cycling skills without worrying about traffic.  This is an out and back so riders who cannot complete 32 miles can turn back at any time. 

Ride Summary: Ride from Wash Park to Cherry Creek State Park along the Cherry Creek Trail.  One lap (8 miles) around the reservoir and return.  Total Distance: 32 miles.  Ride Difficulty:  Easy to Moderate.  The ride should take approximately 2 - 2.5 hours to complete depending on the strength of the riders.
