Description: (This will be a guided ride for the International Ride-In.)
Leg 1: 53 mi, 2 hrs; this leg encompasses some of the best of Colorado's Mother Nature that is close to Loveland and Fort Collins. It has some steep twisties and and a grand view of the mountains followed by a stop at Vern's Place for a nice rest and meal.
Leg 2: 32 mi, 1 hr; enjoy a grand view of Horsetooth Reservoir, ending with an easy route back to Loveland.
Leg 2 is also popular in the Winter months when the roads at higher elevations may be slippery and/or covered with snow.
Caution: as always, watch for sand and pea-sized gravel on the roads, especially in the Spring.
