Re: [ST] Where to ride around Boulder, CO------- ride report



Just got back from a ride this morning.  Oh - My - God!  That was some of 
the most gorgeous scenery I have ever seen!  Took 119 from Boulder to 
Nederland.  17 miles of winding road with a flowing rocky creek up about 
3,000 ft to 8,000 ft, = or -. Then peak to see a lake with the town on the 
opposite side.  Beautiful.  Took  about 2 1/2 hours, mainly because I kept 
stopping to take pictures.

Thanks for the info, and the tip about the winds on hwy 93.  I heard there 
were some winds to avoid around Boulder, but wasn't sure where.  Glad I 
don't have to find out the hard way!

Stephen
