While North Table Mountain Park has been around and building for the last few years, North Table Trail, the park's main loop, was just recently completed last December. This year marks the first time when bikers may ride the trail around the entire mesa. Sounds like a great reason to go exploring this new gem in Jeffco's impressive collection of rides and take in that new trail smell. Afterwards, we'll head over to Spot Bar and Grill for some refreshing apres-bike brews and food. Please contact calbiker@live.com to sign on. |

Let's explore another one of the newer trails in the area. We'll ride the Ringtail Trail which starts from Indian Creek and connects with other trails in Roxborough State Park. The tread is not difficult technically, but the ride starts high then drops into Roxborough. It's an easy, fun blast down, but now you have no choice but to climb 1,700' vertical back out. Out-and-back measures 17.3 miles. Ringtail is known for some great views, few crowds, and a splash of sandstone free riding. Lunch and beers planned at Rockyard Brewery in Castle Rock afterwards. Please contact trlguy2@gmail.com to sign on. |

The Annual Mountain Hut trip will make a departure from our usual visits to the 10th Mountain Huts. New for 2013, we will visit the Vagabond Ranch Huts, located northwest of Grand Lake, and stay at the Cascade Hut, which can sleep up to 16 people. With electricity, hot/cold indoor water, and even a dishwasher, it'll be the most plush "hut" we've ever stayed at in all our 12 years of hut tripping. A vast network of undiscovered singletrack trails for bikes and boots lies just outside the doorway, more than enough to justify the extra day planned for this trip. The cost of $235 covers THREE nights of lodging and all your meals for the extended weekend. Sorry, this trip has filled. Please contact calbiker@live.com to get on the waiting list. |

Let's visit the newest Colorado State Park for a day riding some of the sweetest singletrack in the area. Cheyenne Mountain (next to NORAD and Colorado Springs) boasts a network of 16 easy to moderately difficult trails, totalling at least 20 miles. The tread is mostly well groomed gravel with a few rocks thrown in to keep you on your tippy toes. To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, we'll end the day with a stop at Carlos Miguel's Mexican Bar and Grill for some cold margaritas with lots of mayo!!

Hopefully, you've had a nice winter off your bike. Now it's time to get back on your neglected, two-wheeled friend. If you've spent the past months on skis, boards, or couches, you may be surprised to see just how rusty you and your bike may be. So please come join us on the first beginner ride of 2013. We'll ride the paved Clear Creek trail from Wheat Ridge to Golden and back. The round trip measures about 18 miles. In Golden, we'll break for beer and lunch at Golden City Brewery before heading back (downhill!).

Join us for a return to trip to the roomy Whispering Pines home for a weekend of skiing and boarding - and use the other half of that 4x40 Ski Pass you might be buying for the Steamboat trip. This is the same weekend as OutBoard, so let's just say the lift lines may be particularly friendly this year. Prime season has raised the cost a bit this year to $195 per person (lodging only). We may add a second house like last year if there is sufficient demand.
