Road from Cherry Creek to Golden.
Started out on a nice easy bike path along the Platte river in downtown Cherry Creek. Before too long, left the comfort of the bike path. Crossed a bridge and headed out on to the open road. This is the first time that the team will hit 30 miles.
Was a great flattish ride, had some rolling hills, false flat hills, and one steepish hill. Was a great day for a ride. We were able to go directly behind the Coors brewing company before hitting downtown Golden. At the midpoint of this ride some sort of food would have been nice. Unfortunately I didn't carry anything.
Way back seemed much quicker perhaps because there seemed to be more downhills than up. When we rolled up to the cars I immediately checked the bike computer and low and behold we did almost 37 miles. The coach LIES!!! That's 7 more than planned.
