We went out on a group gravel ride with Gravel Bike Adventures on a beautiful Sunday in early May. The ride departed from Pedal in Littleton and headed south on the paved South Platte River Trail before heading east on the gravel Little Dry Creek Trail. We eventually met up with the gravel High Line Canal Trail and took that around Chatfield State Park.
Group rides are known for keeping a strong pace with little stopping (until the end for beer) and this ride was no exception! We only stopped briefly for a restroom break but beers at Breckenridge Brewery after was a lot of fun! It is always a good time to be around fellow cyclists!
