We love to finish a hot ride with a splash.
You should try it. Take a summer ride, finish with a dip in some refreshing water. Even better if you remembered to pack some extra snacks to relax with. Our Pueblo backyard is a real good place to make it happen. Here are a couple route options for you.
Double Splash Bash
15 miles of mixed gravel with two suggested spots for a quick splash.

Start and finish at Pueblo’s City Park, with a sample of the Lake Pueblo experience as well as a visit to the epic Waterworks Park along the Arkansas River! If you decide to have more than a quick wading dip…make sure you have a PFD or life jacket on. Stay safe and have fun out there.
