Longmont, Hygiene

By Sanjay Subscribe

Near Superior, Colorado, US on Nov 8, 2008

Total distance: 43 miles

Total time: 2 hours 38 minutes

Total ascent: 1627 ft, Total descent: 1638 ft

Rider notes: via 95th, Roger's Rd, Airport Rd, 17th Ave.
By taking Roger's road instead of 95th all the way to 17th, I could avoid the badly maintained section of the bike path on 95th. In addition, Roger's is a quiet country road, giving a panoramic view of the foothills.

Plains Ride: WCR-6, WCR-19, Colorado

By Sanjay Subscribe

Near Superior, Colorado, US on Jun 8, 2008

Total distance: 45 miles

Total time: 3 hours 23 minutes

Total ascent: 1286 ft, Total descent: 1681 ft

Rider notes: The plan was to take the beautiful (and flat) county roads and do a loop back through Hygiene. 

Heavy cross-winds on CR-19, which became headwinds as I turned towards Longmont on CO-66. Finally, after crossing I-25, I gave up -- called for a personal sag support:( Ended the ride near Wal-mart on CO-66/US-287. 

I wish my friend Subbu (who owns this site) was here, for I could have just ridden a couple of more miles to his home and demanded a great lunch for all the troubles I had taken to give him a surprise visit:) Alas... he is riding with an umbrella in Washington state...

Note1: CO-66 from WCR-19 to I-25 is bad for riding. Narrow shoulder with fast and fairly busy traffic. A safer alternative  to go west would be to use WCR-24 or WCR-34.

Note 2: WCR-6 from WCR-5 to WCR-7 is unpaved (I didn't know that), but rideable packed dirt. But better approach would be to take WCR-8 to WCR-7 and backtrack to WCR-6. Or to use WCR-7 directly from WCR-2 (Baseline Rd, CO-7).
