Why: July 4th weekend traffic is heinous; best to stay off paved roads.
Note: The dirt portions are in excellent condition. I’ve ridden this twice last week and I’ve never seen it better.

7/12/14
9AM – Durango Rec. Center
Haviland & Beyond via Old Shalona
Why: always a crowd pleaser.

7/19/14
9AM – Santa Rita Park
La Posta – Bondad – Bayfield – Ignacio – Dump Road – Edgemont
Map: http://www.mapmyride.com/us/durango-co/dwc-la-posta-ignacio-bayfield-loop-route-148942511
Why: Classic loop

NOTE: I’m not going to be able to start the next three Saturday rides. The above schedule is what I think would be good based on heat and traffic. As always, the Sunday rides are TBD; so if any of you want to do something new different on Sunday (and you’re willing to start the ride) please let me know and I’ll put it on the schedule.
