The Prairie Sunset is a crushed limestone trail on a former rail road bed. Wider tires, easy gearing might make for a better ride but not necessary. More on the trail here.
Gypsum Creek Cruise Recap
We had a nice turn-out and great weather for today’s ride along the Gypsum Creek path. What a great time! Unfortunately the ride wasn’t with out a few mechanical problems along the way including a loose crank, a broken chain and a couple flats. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a fun ride.
