OK, for my first try at this, I'm postponing my more esoteric route ideas for something tried and true. Taking the existing Rodeo Gulch loop and adding an out and back to the Medicine Buddha, just for fun.

Starting Location and Time :Parking Lot .3 mi past the dam at Lexington Reservoir. There is a $6 fee to park there (Credit/Debit Card). There is also a free dirt area across the street from the parking lot that can handle about 8 cars.at 8:45 for a 9:00 departure, with D/E riders launching a bit before the Social Climbers. Rain cancels.
