Anyone interested in riding Eldorado Canyon in Dayton can meet us at the Dayton Rodeo Grounds (500 Schaad Ln.) on Sunday, April 5 at 9:45a.m.
This is a very beautiful, physically demanding, and rewarding ride. You can see pics and read Jeff M’s post of his Eldorado Canyon ride here and here.
Our route will be 16 miles, with a 12 mile extended loop option for a total of 28 miles. Bring plenty of food and water, and a bottle of your favorite lube (not for the after ride party, but for your chain. The elements really do a number on the drive-train).
Anyone who would like to carpool please contact me.

I’ll be there!
Count me in!
Who do we send the request to for 60 degrees and NO wind?
if i can make this ride sunday, i’ll pretty much guarantee to jump some beer cans too. fact is, i’ll even bring my bike to the lab and fill the handlebars with nitrogen, since it’s like 4 g/mol lighter.
When you go on a nice flat path I’ll go, LOL
Ken may go though.
You ready for the Tall Cans, Scott?
Guess I’ll have to dust off the Coiler for this ride. Beware the baby heads!
I’m out, wife is working on Sunday. Damn, I have the worst luck with these rides lately.
“if i can make this ride sunday”?
Anyone who rides from doorstep to the top of 4-day in 25 minutes should just start the Eldorado ride at 4-day and catch the rest of us at the start of Eldorado single track.
We need a head start speedy.
I’ve decided to take the single speed 29er for this trip. Feel free to laugh at me on Sunday if it turns out to be a bad idea!
You mean the Fully Rigid SS 9er?
WOW you are Brave! Not so much on the SS but No Suspension? ughhhhh
The fabled El Dorado Canyon. I really want to check this ride out! How long does it take, usually?
For us “normal” riders? Or you that don’t even break a sweat until your 10 mile at 12 mph pace?
Jeff- Is it OK if we laugh now.
Marcus- 3-5 hours.
There ARE a lot of smooth sections, but this picture puts me on the fence about the whole thing:

Can I bring my newest issue of Dirt Rag for an Autograph?
Jeff: From the looks of that picture, you might want to wear a cup and bring a mouth guard. Hate to see the “boyz” or those choppers get ruined riding that “brick with wheels” for 5 hours!!
Have fun. Wish I could join you.
After reading this post:http://www.bikecarson.com/2009/03/24/one-hundred-push-ups/ I’m more concerned with the “boyz” getting crushed with a vise-like grip.
Have fun. I am going to have to miss it. I am going to hang out with the family this weekend. I have been working so much, I forgot where the cereal bowls were in the kitchen this morning.
New guy here. I am going to try and make it out from Reno.
Welcome Jason. Let me know if you need a contact number to find us.
