Moving to Denver 6 years ago, my partner and I found ourselves in a new city with no friends. We wanted to meet some other gay people who enjoyed doing outdoor activities. We came across Out Spokin' at Gay Pride that summer and I decided to try riding with them. I had never ridden more then 20 miles at a time when I showed up for my first Out Sopkin' ride. I found the leaders and the other people on the ride to be very welcoming and motivating. The first ride I did with them was a 30 mile ride that included going up Dinosaur Ridge, probably the hardest climb I had ever done at that time.
