Hall Ranch / Bitterbrush and Antelope Trails

This Thursday, June 3rd we are headed to Hall Ranch. Meet at Sandstone Park (across from Oskar Blues), from there we’ll break into two groups. The beginner/intermediates will hit up the Antelope side at a casual pace while the intermediate/advanced riders will head up the Bitterbrush side.

Meet at Sandstone Park in Lyons at 5:45PM, and be ready to ride at 6PM. To carpool from Boulder, meet at 28th and Iris (the SE corner next to Sol Azteca) at 5:15PM.

Dinner and drinks will follow...somewhere.

Important Info about the Rides:
  1. All riders MUST wear a helmet, bring water, and have a trail-ready bike. Riders should also carry the usual basics: spare tube(s), a pump, tire levers, a chain tool, and basic Allen wrenches.
  2. All riders ride at their own risk, group leaders take no responsibility for rider safety/injury.
  3. Riders must sign a liability waiver once during the season. If this is your first ride of the season, please bring a signed waiver with you or be prepared to complete one at the meeting spot.
  4. Rides launch at 6:00 p.m. so be at the trailhead by 5:45 p.m., dressed and ready to roll by 6 p.m.
  5. If the weather is iffy, make sure to check the blog after 3:00 p.m. on Thursdays for updated info.
  6. Please don't be shy about coming out - all of us love biking and would like to hang out with girls that are interested in biking.

  7. So excited for this ride! Megan, I'd love to carpool if you still have room. I'll be at Sol Azteca at 5:15. LOVE the Bitterbrush route but definitely have to walk a few sections going up... I'm pretty good technically but have only lived in Boulder for 6 months, so I'm not a super fast climber yet. If I fall behind, don't feel like you have to wait for me-- I know the route really well!

  10. Hi everyone, I rode once with you guys last year, and this will be my first ride with you this season. Could I catch a lift with someone? I'd love to stay for dinner, but if the rider can't I can always bike back home :)

  20. Ugh, work meeting ran late, totally missed the ride. So, so bummed. I'll be overseas 'til June 23, but really hope to hop on these rides when I get back... please tell me you'll ride Hall again! A technical clinic there would be super cool, too. ;)

    Hope you all had a fun, safe ride. See you later in the summer.

    Amy
