Cherokee Park to Sand Creek to Deadman Pass. It ain't easy, but it's wicked fun. We went up there Saturday and the water across Sand Creek was pretty low. Don't forget to bring a layer for potential afternoon storms rolling through.

September 😍 The final of the year is in our favorite month: September. Warm days and cool nights and slowly turning colors makes this a favorite time of year to enjoy riding and soak in the magic of the mountains.

Join .allison and for a very special weekend: https://www.bikesportsco.com/experiences

Red Mountain to Soapstone is wicked fun. You get some pavement, you get some fast gravel, and you get a chunk of time on mostly not-too-crazy single track. We've done the route both ways and definitely prefer hitting up Red Mountain first. The last little bit going into Soapstone is chunky but largely downhill, so a bit more bearable. This route was also a part of the final FoCo Fondo training series this year! No water, so plan ahead...hydration pack + bottles pretty much mandatory this time of year.

Summertime means accessing all those sweet mountain routes we've been dreaming of since LAST summer. This Deadman loop is no exception. Don't forget the water filter!

Day 3 of Gravel Graceland: A beautiful blue-sky day with 40-something miles of riding and over 4,000 feet of climbing around Red Feather Lakes. We had a fantastic first couple of climbs. Coloradoans know, that sometimes mama nature has other plans. About 2 hours in we ended up in thunder snow...snow/hail coupled with a lot of thunder and lightening. Luckily we were all able to make it to the Red Feather store one way or the other, warm up with their new espresso bar, and shuttle back down to our starting point. A bit part of adventure is adaptability and thriving in that attitude!

Day 1 is in the books! Today was all about remembering the breadth of roads and trails that gravel bikes are great for and how that opens up TONS of new routes and adventures! Single track, gravel roads, and a bit of road to round out the day, followed by a picnic at New Belgium 😇

Take Cherokee Park as far as you want. It gets harder and more remote the closer you get to the 9k foot summit. The end of the road dips down into Laramie River Road. Half way up you can cut across to Sand Creek Pass or Deadman Pass. Everything in the area and Cherokee Park is an epic adventure.

200k of Awesomeness route is wicked hard but FUN!! Unless if there is a huge wind advisory. .allison went for it anyways last weekend but the only spot for a tailwind was the steep descent from Red Feather Lakes to Rustic 🤣 The nice thing about this route too is that there are some great bailout points. In this case, she came all the way down the Poudre back home since the wind was so nuts and super extended the ride.

Super Estes: taking things up a notch! Climbing from Fort Collins up to Masonville, then South to the Big Thompson Canyon. The classic way up to Estes going up Big Thompson canyon, Highway 34, and then up the switchbacks of Devils Gulch through Glenhaven.

Popping out in the town of Estes Park there’s plenty of places to refuel, our favorite being Kind Coffee. From

Estes the short way back is coming back down Highway 34 but the “super” part of this being climbing out of Estes Park up Peak to Peak Highway and then eventually descending down to Lyons. From Lyons you’re back to the plains and heading north towards Carter Lake and back to Horsetooth.

The 2021 FoCo Fondo 107-mile route is a classic rolling loop. Be forewarned, there are no services on this route! Take into account the wind and that a majority of the elevation comes in the first half. Most of the course is fast rollers with a few B-road sections. Can't wait for the 2022 edition!!

Country Club is a perfect, not too far from town, short loop. A quick lunch ride, an intro to northern gravel, it comes in at 13 miles and under 500 feet of elevation gain.

That smile when you nail your first time taking a gravel bike on the single track ☺️ Can't wait for the first Gravel Graceland Experience kicking off May 27th!

Rist + Buckhorn + Storm Mountain.

86 miles, 7900 feet of climbing.

This route was used as a preparatory ride leading into BWR California last year where there is a big climb half-way through. Creating routes that mimic features of events you are targeting is a really helpful physical and mental training tool!
