The City View Loop Road Ride has it all including miles along the new Waterton Road (with a designated bike lane on most of it)! It starts with miles of rolling hills, a nice flat section, and the hills come!
The climb and descent on Rio Grande Road are amongst my favorites! This “lollipop” stretch is 5 miles – perfect if you need to do hill repeats as the grade reaches 10% for a short period of time.
After Rio Grande Road, feel free to take a rest stop at the elementary school before heading to the Rainbow Road climb. This climb is another “lollipop” stretch – this time double the distance at 10 miles before hitting the nice flat section again.
The final stretch includes exploring the Sterling Ranch neighborhoods along the new Waterton Road. I’ll call this another “lollipop” stretch of 5 miles with a nice climb at the end!
Do this ride if you want it all – rolling hills, climbs, and flat sections! It is one of our favorites!
