Is Boulder really part of Colorado?
Quote:
Boulder is an interesting place to explore by bike or foot. Ride the bike paths, hike or ride up Flagstaff, check out the trails between Chautauqua and El Dorado canyon, etc. If you want an adventure and a fun dining experience check out the Gold Hill Inn. The food is excellent and it's a great change of pace from the upscale outdoor mall that Pearl Street has turned into.

traveled out to Denver a few years ago and really enjoyed our time along the front range....spent a little time in Boulder, but seems like Boulder is sort of central to everything that you can spread out a bit. New Belgium may not be your favorite beer, but its certainly one of the best tours around. I rented a mtn bike and rode 3 Sisters and couple of others...careful around RMNP during a weekend...found traffic there to take away from experience. When we were there, the forest fires limited us to certain parts of the park, which may have been a factor too. There's also the Stanley Hotel which is sort of interesting and the restaurant there was decent enough. The scenic drive thru red rock is great as well as the scenic drive to the south. Those are just a few of the memorable experiences we had there and really would like to go back some day and spend more time.
too many great restaurants....almost unfair to suggest any! Coming from an area much closer to sea level, I'd say be mindful of your elevations and activity levels. Also, drink lots of water...if we weren't taking in a liter every 2-3 hours, we'd find ourselves getting quite grouchy.

The boulder Farmer's Market is a good outing, and has good street food available. The tamale stand is great. The Tea Room is next to the creek, within the bounds of the FM. Frasca, and their bistro next door, Black Cat/Bramble and Hare are a few more restaurants to check out. The Boulderado is always solid. The Dairy Arts Center often has indie and foreign films running. Yeah, a Red Rocks show would be memorable.. Enjoy your stay.

Perfect timing on the thread. Arrived in Niwot this morning to visit some friends and ride a couple of days before my wife flies out Friday and we head into the mountains. Staying in Ft Collins the end of next week so interested in that too!
In Boulder check out Cured on Pearl Street, just a few doors down from the primary pilgrimage site where OldP used to hold court. Run by Will Frischkorn 2008 TdF breakaway instigator and his wife Coral. Euro-style charcuterie. You have to stop at University Cycles to see Andy Hampsten's Giro bike as well.

Peter built me a set of carbon mtb wheels. The way the bike handled definitively changed for the better once I put those wheels on. I am itching to have him build me more wheels. Alas, I need no more. Quote:
