May 15 River Point/South Platte ride

Next weeks ride, May 15, will be a new one in Denver.  It starts at River Point, approximately 69 miles from Summit County.  To get there drive East on I70 to 470 South.  Take the 285 exit East.  When you get to the stop light for River Point Parkway be in the right lane and turn right.  The parking is on the left soon after the turn.  They are building a new office building and the parking is to the left of the building.  You should not go across the bridge.  The bike path is across the grass about 20 feet. (They have blocked the stairs.)  There is no restroom at the start, but once on the rec-path they are numerous. Once on the path you can go left and across the bike bridge to the rec-path.  Turn left and head South.  Ride as far as you wish.  A good goal is Chatfield Reservoir.  Riding to the top of the dam and returning is about 20 miles.  Plan to meet at 10 am, ready to ride.

 

Afterwards you can drive over the bridge and join others for lunch at Panera's and go shopping at the Costco nearby.
