As 2023 ambassadors of STB GRVL, we are happy to organize and lead the Denver community in local training rides.
We predict that the weekday rides will be a smaller group of riders and therefore, we will have the flexibility to be more casual and "go with the flow" depending on weather and the group's desires. Regardless, we will always start with a solid plan, and most likely start the rides from the Denver area.
This week's Wednesday ride will meet up at Confluence Park, outside the Starbucks in REI
Be there at 8:45 am to meet other riders.
Wheels down at 9:00 am sharp. (We will wait no more than 5 min. If you find yourself running late please text Laura at 303-726-4774 and meet us further long the route.)

Route Description:
Playing on the dirt paths and trails in and around North Table Mountain and Blunn Reservoir
Nearly all of the 14 miles getting to North Table Mountain Area are roads, but there are some small opportunities to jump on and off some unpaved trails in Crown Hill Park.
For the dirt/gravel portions, expect some single track, some wide crushed gravel and a tiny bit of rugged or chunky terrain.
For full details and review of the route you can see it on our website.
