Almost entirely in the beautiful and scenic foothills West of Boulder, this ride features distance and climbing to prepare for Salida76. The ride offers a balanced mix of surfaces with gentle and steep climbs with the reward of some long descents. We will ride through Seven Hills, Sugarloaf, up to the Peak-to-Peak Highway, into Nederland. Along the way we will ride a gravel loop on Cold Springs Drive and venture through Caribou Ranch Open Space. Leaving Nederland we have a long descents on Magnolia Road to Gross Reservoir and another with tight turns on Flagstaff Road back into Boulder.

Meet at the Boulder County Justice Center / Evert Pierson Kids Fishing Pond Parking Lot. There should be parking here or nearby.
