Boulder Backroads with Alter Exploration: You're invited!

Описание: Come visit Boulder and ride the best dirt, gravel and paved roads here in the Rocky Mountains! My friend Chris Case of Alter Exploration hosts riding camps around the world, and this Sept 20-24 he and I are hosting a special edition of his Boulder Backroads Trip.

The small endurance-sports epicenter of Boulder is a cycling paradise on Colorado’s Front Range. There are grand vistas, dense forests, canyons, solitude, space—the ingredients of the finest rides.

With the snow-capped Rockies as our backdrop, we’ll explore a spider’s web of backroads—paved and gravel, iconic climbs and old mining tracks. They aren’t well trodden—quiet roads are the best roads. And they aren’t straight, which will help you develop a new appreciation for the contours of the land.

Over five days, we’ll cover the best that Boulder has to offer, right out our backdoor. (Each day can be lengthened or shortened as desired.)

Day 1
We’ll start by exploring some of Boulder’s most famous climbs, including Sunshine Canyon, and gravel favorites, including Logan Mill and Four Mile Canyon.
-35 miles, 5,000 feet of elevation gain, 70% dirt

Day 2
Ready to climb high? We’ll ride to Brainard Lake (at 10,000 feet) at the edge of the Indian Peaks Wilderness, the most picturesque portion of the Front Range.
50 miles, 6,775 feet of elevation gain, 25% dirt

Day 3
Need a little respite from the climbing? Boulder has flats too. It’s a great day to spin along the classic Boulder-Roubaix course and gaze at the mountains you’ve been exploring thus far.
42 miles, 1,700 feet of elevation gain, 45% dirt

Day 4
Today is the big one: The Mosaic Monster is a route Chris created for his friends at Mosaic Bicycles. The hardest mile-for-mile ride in Boulder? You decide.
-60 miles, 10,500 feet of elevation gain, 55% dirt

Day 5
For our final ride, we’ll cool our jets and take an easy spin. Pastries anyone?
