Bicycle Aurora
No-drop recreational rides through Aurora, CO on paved trails — Cherry Creek Dam, the Spillway, Highline Canal — with a rotating weekly schedule.
The vibe
No-drop trail rides, Aurora style
Bicycle Aurora keeps things simple: show up, ride at a conversational pace, and see the parts of Aurora you’d never notice from a car. Routes loop through the Spillway Trail, down along the Cherry Creek Dam, and out to the Highline Canal, all on paved multi-use paths that keep the pace mellow and the stress low.
Rides run at 12-15 mph and are strictly no-drop — nobody gets dropped off the back, which makes this a solid entry point if you’re newer to group riding or just prefer to actually talk to the people you’re riding with. Wednesday mornings and evenings are the anchor rides, with weekend options added into the mix depending on the season.
Everything starts and finishes at Horseshoe Park, so parking and regrouping are easy. Bring a bike that can handle paved trail and a water bottle — this isn’t a ride that demands much gear, just a willingness to show up.
