Colorado Classics

Three rides, three surfaces, one range. This is the founding collection — the routes I'd show a friend on their first week in Colorado.

Ride the pavement test-piece over Lookout Mountain, the gravel rite of passage up Magnolia to Gold Hill, and the chunky railroad history of the Switzerland Trail. Finish all three and you'll understand why the Front Range is the best place in America to own three bikes.

Each route carries full beta: where the water is, where the cell signal isn't, and which store has the lemonade.
