A bicycle ride around Boulder in the springtime never disappoints! You can climb a mountain, cruise through campus and ride in the countryside all within a very short time frame – so fun and enjoyable!
With our upcoming move to the southwest (suburbs of Denver metro), we had to get in one last ride in Boulder! One of the last big climbs to try was Flagstaff Mountain and we planned our route around that. The ‘reward’ of taking in Sunrise Circle Amphitheater did not disappoint. So beautiful!
After the big climb, we took it easy as we followed the bike trails through campus and enjoyed the people watching throughout.
Once outside of town, we turned it up a notch and flew along the bike-friendly country roads. As we completed our loop and made our way back, we had mountain views to pedal towards!
Do this ride! Until next time, Boulder!
