High Grade Extreme (to Evergreen)
Training Ride Hosts: Bradley and Stefania Scott; cell phone 720-840-6102
Please RSVP by COB Friday to Bradley Scott, Bradley@TheScotts.com, 720-840-6102
Starting Time: The ride will start at 7:30 a.m. sharp. Please arrive early so that you are ready to ride at our start time.
Meeting Location: We will meet Wadsworth and Deer Creek Canyon Road just south of C-470. There is plenty of parking along the road just west of Wadsworth. I will ride through in my 2009 WoJ Training Jersey to gather riders (unless someone give me a vehicle description to look for to gather around. I ride in from home).
Description:
Total ride is nearly 51 miles. There is about 6 miles of flat with some mild climbs before we begin the ascent up Deer Creek. After ascending Deer Creek we will ascend High Grade where we can get some water and rest. We will then head across to Conifer. The ride follows highway 73, 78, 81, 64, into Twin Forks, and back to Deer Creek Canyon for that ONE LAST CLIMB!! The ride then winds back to the Deer Creek area to the roadside parking. I will provide maps and turn sheets at the start.
Depending on group there is an easy way back as well.
