Easy to Difficult
2-2.5hrs
Church of the High Pines
No Drop (at least for the first 3/4)
This group ride has been a Sunday standard for years where the goal is socialize with friends and meet new ones that usually gets a little spicy near the end. It is a fairly easy spin if you have a bit of fitness and know how to ride in a group. Local pros use it as a recovery spin to chat with community folks or before heading out on longer rides. For everyone else it is mostly social.
The standard time ride (Winter) starts from the Home Depot parking lot on the south edge of Durango and follows CR213 down to Bondad via CR213 (La Posta Rd) and regroups at the intersection with HWY550 before returning to town in the reverse. There is a pretty standard 11am start time for this ride during the winter but can double check the Pedal Durango Events Calendar page to be sure.
The daylight savings, Spring/Summer/Fall, ride starts at Bread on CR250 and heads north on CR250 at a no drop pace and then it’s every soul for themselves up Old Shalona for a regroup at the top. The return back on CR250 is again no drop but after Trimble the ride gets a little spicy. Start times vary with the seasons so be sure to check the Pedal Durango Events Calendar.
