Try this Front Range canyon bike ride with shoulders wide enough to feel safe | Opinion

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:57 GMT

Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s new series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we will offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems). Canyon highways along the Front Range offer exceptional scenery and challenging climbs to entice ambitious cyclists, but they often have minimal or non-existent shoulders. While some cyclists are willing to brave narrow, winding roads with little or no margin for error, I’m not.That’s why one of my favorite rides is Lefthand Canyon north of Boulder, a 14-mile climb with an ascent of 3,200 feet to the town of Ward near the Peak to Peak Highway and Brainard Lake. It has ample shoulders, so I always feel safe. It gets steep the last mile and a half, but that’s part of what makes it an attractive ride.Related ArticlesOutdoors | JeffCo road where cyclist was killed 15 years ago finally being widened ...
