With the amazing pre-fall weather we had today I decided to go on a bike ride. After going down to Cherry Creek for a burger at the Cherry Cricket I then road up and around Washington Park to check out the park people. Then I decided that I couldn’t remember the last time I was down by Confluence Park. So I got back on the Cherry Creek Trail and headed west to the Platte River. After passing a few homeless people on the trail it was obvious that they have spent a ton of money around that park in the past few days.

It looks amazing but all I could think about is that Family Guy show where Stuie says how much he loves this area but they needed to leave after the sunset because it is a scary place at night! I imagine the same is true with this one. A short 28 miles later my ride was over.

Pine Valley Ranch Bike Ride, a nice 13 mile loop with a good workout and light technical work on the trail.

‘TrailCentral is the hub for high quality, free, trail information for Colorado and beyond.’

From the title of the site its pretty easy to see what this post is about.  This site has some great trail information as well as some great reviews and rants about local trails in Colorado.  It is nice to see a visual layout of where these trails are and it is also nice to see some pictures along the trail as I often wonder what the trails really look like compared to the difficulty rating.  I have just gotten into biking again in the past year so a year after trying to remember how to ride and getting comfortable on a bike I think I am ready to go off trail a little bit.

Got my first decent ride of 2008 in today and also got to try out my new tires for in town riding.

A book of Colorado’s mountain biking trails along with a little history about each ride.
