The Dirt Church ride: every Sunday morning

What: This is intended to be a recurring weekly event plan, and THE thread to post up a Dirt Church weekly routes, photos, etc.

Anyone can (and should) post a route, keep it chill (Easy like Sunday mornin’), and it shouldn’t be more than 2-3 hours. The point of this weekly ride is same time, same place, same-ish length, every week until winter hits. Based on history, the group size will ebb and flow. I’ve done this ride with 25 people, and I’ve done it 1 other.

Time: KSU at 9am. If you want coffee/burritos/pastries with time to poop, come early.

When: every Sunday at 9am

Where: :round_pushpin:Spruce Confections, N. Broadway. Gas is available at the Shell a few blocks south on Broadway. Show up with a full tank, ready to ride.

Who: All are welcome.

This Sunday June 7, 9am at Spruce on Broadway. Come early for good snax and coffee.

I’ll lead a chill B/C+ ride. My knee is just about better - not quite there yet for real off road stuff, but I need to ride. Maintained county roads, some dirt. 88 miles, 8500’ elevation gain, maybe 3 hours?

Route:

Start at Spruce > Lee Hill > Olde Stage > Lefthand to Jamestown > P2P to Beaver Res > some dirt offshoots off of P2P > Caribou > Ned > Tolland Tunnel > Ned > Magnolia to Boulder. Maybe tacos?

I plan to be there tomorrow

I did some recon today, and Caribou is gated until June 30th for wildlife something or other. We’ll be skipping that out-and-back.

I plan on making it

Thanks to everyone who made it today. It was a perfect day for a morning cruise around the local mountains, and a cup of coffee to top it off at Salto in Rollinsville.

If I could just figure out how to transport my bike and myself back from that cool mountain air into the A/C after the ride. It was plenty toasty on the flat lands enroute home. :hot_face:

The wall of hot air coming down from mountains was brutal today.

Yeah, I’m a little scared what August might look like.
