Hi all,

I am looking for some tips on a 3 day riding trip around boulder (leaving from boulder).

I am headed to Denver Aug 1, meeting up with a friend, and pedaling to Boulder. Going to spend a day there checking out the city then wanted to do a little bike trip from boulder, maybe 150-200 miles total in 3 days. I am completely unfamiliar with the area, can anyone recommend a couple good options for a multi day trip leaving from boulder?

Places to stay, eat, drink are of course welcome! Thanks so much.

If you like scenic climbing, from Boulder you could head up to Lyons then up St Vrain Canyon to the Peak to Peak Highway, and ride out to Estes Park. Stay at YMCA of the Rockies, then ride Trail ridge road to the summit; you'd have the option of riding down to Grand Lake on the west side, and from there go south to Winter Park but might want a shuttle back to Estes Park or Bolder depending how you feel..

That looks absolutely phenomenal, thank you. I think I will do a night at the YMCA of the rockies and maybe find a new ride back to Boulder. I would definitely like to do some exploring of the town of boulder and besides this maybe a couple day trips from there. Thanks for the great suggestion, appreciate any boulder suggestions too.
