Boulder to Brainard Lake

By Sanjay Subscribe

Near Boulder, Colorado, US on Sep 27, 2008

Total distance: 64 miles

Total time: 5 hours 23 minutes

Total ascent: 7201 ft, Total descent: 7195 ft

Rider notes: A great autumn ride. The colors have started changing and it was very pretty all along. It was also a great day to ride.

We had originally planned to return by Raymond and Lyons. But clouds had started gathering and the temperature began dropping. So, we abandoned that idea and returned via Left Hand Canyon.

A personal note: after I crashed while descending from Brainard Lake in July 2006, it is the first time that I gathered enough courage to ride there again:) Okay, I was a lot more sensible and slower today than I was on that July afternoon:)

Rider notes: The little bump on the left incline of the elevation profile is Columbine st, where the grades are significantly (I saw up to 15%) steeper than Flagstaff. But very little traffic compared to Baseline.

It is beginning to get cold. I wish I had a light jacket.

Flagstaff Road, NCAR

Near Superior, Colorado, US on Aug 19, 2008

Total distance: 37 miles

Total time: 2 hours 50 minutes

Total ascent: 3301 ft, Total descent: 3288 ft

Rider notes: I felt good after finishing Flagstaff. So decided to ride up NCAR on the way back.

While riding up Flagstaff, there was an accident which one of the EMTs characterized as "man against a deer." Traffic got delayed for a while. He did not elaborate if it was cyclist. In any case, I was looking out for deer all the way down.
