Location: Sirroco Golf and Country Club

An easier route, starting from the Sirroco Golf (just south of Silverado) parking lot. We cruise west to the "old Road to Nepal."  This is a pretty big climb, taken at your own speed.  Near the top there is a sharp left turn where we will regroup. Then we climb some more to the Leighton Art Centre for lunch. (Picnic tables, pink chairs, a restroom, and a view of the Rockies if the clouds cooperate.)

From Leighton we descend a very fast road, then follow a more leisurely downhill to the west, and north to our start.

Bring food and water.  And a bright flashing taillight if you have one.
