Walker Ranch/Myers Homestead

This Thursday, June 17 we will take advantage of the long days and ride Walker Ranch and Myers Homestead . As with past rides, we will break into 2 or 3 groups. We will meet at the main Walker Ranch Trail Head off Flagtaff Road (not the Myers Homestead Trail Head the group met at the last time).

One group, those of you with experience riding Walker and feeling zesty, will make its way around the entire 8 mile loop. Don't let distances deceive you; this trail will take a fast moving group until almost dark to complete without any mechanicals! At least one other group will take it easier and ride the connector between Walker and Myers Homestead, riding out on as far as the group wants and then coming back the same way. If we have enough ladies, a third group may head out part of the way on the Walker loop, turn around and head back the way they came in time to finish by 8:15PM.

If you would like to carpool, please meet at the Baseline/Broadway Whole Foods parking lot at 5:25PM.

Following the ride, we will have dinner and drinks at Larkburger on Arapahoe.

Important info about the rides:

  1. All riders MUST wear a helmet, bring water and bring a trail ready bike. Riders should also carry the usual basics; spare tube, a pump, tire lever, a chain tool and basic Allen wrenches.
  2. All riders ride at their own risk. Ride 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 copy of the waiver to the ride or be prepared to sign one at the meeting spot.
  4. Rides launch at 6:00PM, so please be at the ride spot at 5:45PM, dressed and ready to roll at 6:00PM.
  5. If the weather is iffy please make sure to check the blog at 3:00PM 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. For planning purposes, please post your name in the comments section if you plan on joining us. The comments section is also great for planning carpools, etc. If you cannot access the blog post, let us know you will be there by emailing us at the email below

  2. It will be my first ride with you all, but I'm hoping to carpool if someone would give my bike and myself a ride!

  5. I'll meet at the trailhead - cept I know where Myers Homestead Trail Head on the right is but not the Walker one. Across the way is a private drive if my memory serves me right, is it farther down?

  6. Hi Betty,

    Would you still have a space in your car for me and my bike? It would be my first time too. We only just relocated from the UK to Boulder and I'm so excited about getting out on the bike, explore the area and meet some new people, but my husband has the car tonight... any chance of a lift?

  7. Tamara - keep driving on Flagstaff Road past the Myers Homestead parking area and you will see another one. Where Flagstaff takes sharp right (if I recall), the gravel road to the Walker Lot is off to the left. I think the Walker lot is just shy of a mile past the Myers one.

    Romy - I can fit you and one other (Kham?).

  8. Turns out I can make the ride after all. I probably need to jump in with somebody else, as I only have a trunk rack at the moment. And I'll be riding the Walker loop this time!
