Description: (This will be a guided ride for the International Ride-In.)
Leg 1: 84 mi, 2.5 hrs; this leg takes "the scenic route" via Estes Park, through Ward, down Left-Hand Canyon to Smokin' Dave's BBQ for lunch.
Leg 2: 54 mi, 1.5 hrs; go back through Estes Park, crossing Lake Estes, passing by the famous Stanley Hotel, and then enjoying "the back route" back to Loveland again via Devil's Gulch Road.
Leg 2 has an optional popular stop in Glen Haven at the Glen Haven General Store for their famous cinnamon rolls (or a variety of fudge) and coffee!
Caution: tight switchbacks right after pass between Estes Park and Glen Haven. And as always, watch for sand and pea-sized gravel on the roads, especially in the Spring.
Notes:
1. Tight switchback from Estes Park down to Glenhaven.
