This little gem is just 5 mins from my office in Boulder. It is a nice little 17.5 mile lollypop with some nice technical parts but allows for quick easy bail out if you run into issues. I did manage to fall on this ride last week while trying to close one of the cattle gates my foot was still clipped in my bike and I mis-stepped and fell flat on my butt. The hardest part is coming up the hill after passing Eldorado Canyon entrance. It is really steep with lots of rock but I can make it about 2/3 of the way up before I have to walk. This is a great little quick 2 hour ride after work to blow off some steam.
