Book Description
At last, a thorough, completely up-to-date guide that covers the best mountain bike rides along the Front Range -- most of which are within an hour's drive of the region's metro areas. From meandering old mining roads to challenging singletrack, riders of all abilities will welcome the number and variety of trails this guide describes. If you are looking for a good, smooth, consistent climb at a moderate altitude, try Oh My Gawd! (also known as Oh My Gosh!) Road. This road was constructed in the 1870's to support mines in the bills above Idaho Springs and, farther north, Central City. The grade is about 7% -- the maximum grade are wagons of long ago could manage. Today, one can ride up and over the ridge that separates Idaho Springs from Central City, get a good workout, and play a band of poker! Over thirty rides are here to choose from, each with its own map and elevation profile. Important information about Front Range weather, emergency repair, minimum-impact routes and practices, trail etiquette, technical maneuvers, a list of area bike shops, and snippets of history and geography complete the guide's offerings. C'mon! Don your knobbies, choose your line, get some air, and for heaven's sake, don't potato chip a wheel!
