    Join Startup Colorado and Juan Delaroca of Gravel Adventure Field Guide for the next iteration of networking. We'll start at Mutiny Cafe at 9am for a classic Lean Coffee networking conversation. Then we'll tour historic downtown Trinidad by bike. If you're a founder from out of town, we encourage you to join the discussion and learn about the changes taking place in Trinidad. If you're local, we count on seeing you there to provide your insights, knowledge and engage with "outsiders" interested in your community's future. Stick around after the downtown ride for more mileage on Trinidad's endless gravel routes.
