If anyone is around on Saturday we are putting on a fundraiser for the Amy D Foundation in Nederland. Come on up to the mountains for music, pizza, Stevil form All Hail The Black Market, Olympian Ann Trombley, Emily Kachorek from Squid bikes and awesome gear for a silent auction.

Our friends and fellow bike riders opened Crosscut Pizzeria and we wanted to work together on this Fundraiser for the Amy D. Foundation.

This is quite a nice loop for a quick after-work spin:

I'll be heading out tomorrow to do the climb up to Ward, it'd be nice to make a loop of it and come back down (say) Coal Creek Canyon - practical?

Yup, it's practical and a good workout. Start early to avoid the leaf peepers.

I'd avoid Boulder Canyon on the weekends unless you can hit it before 8:30am. It's a fast descent with high traffic volume. If you're comfortable riding on dirt roads try Magnolia Drive instead. It eventually turns back into pavement and runs into Boulder Canyon but will take you past the worst sections.

I don't ride in Boulder much, but yes...I'd avoid Boulder canyon. The only time I rode up Boulder canyon was during the Buff classic when it was closed to cars!

Magnolia is a great idea. Paved until you get to the top, and I think the dirt/gravel is in decent shape. Sure beats dealing with a fairly narrow shoulder in a twisty canyon.

That's what I'd do. I hope the dirt isn't too rough up there.

Magnolia has some STEEP little switchbacks (paved). Like spin-the-rear-wheel steep.

Enjoy!

Yes. Are you comfortable riding on dirt roads?

(I reserve the right to bail on my Ward plans and do that Flagstaff/Gross Dam loop if I have heavy legs on the way down Baseline!)

Have you done Four Mile/Gold Hill/Lefthand? Another good ride. Some dirt after Salina. Not much traffic.

No I have not- I don't suppose you might have a link?
