So small chance I may be moving to Denver from NJ. I wanted to know if I move which direction are the best or most accessible riding places, N/S/E/W of Denver. Do not know Denver at all and would like to be no more than 30 to 40min (with traffic) from the city. Have a family so schools and everything else I have to also consider. Right now I ride 100 yards bang a right and I am out in the woods. I can put together (some street connections) 70-mile ride. Just trying to get a feel for the Denver area. Maybe out there I can open the TE 450 ’07 a little more.
Check with Ramz. He's an older guy but rides all over CO. http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/member.php?u=316 http://www.rickramsey.net/
Can't say for certain how far you will need to go from denver to hit some good trails since I am in southern CO. If you ever want to hit some cool trails and not see another bike all day, come on down here.
If you're going to be living near Denver try to stay on the west side of I-25 for easier/faster access to the mountains - that's where most of the trails will be.
Everything east of I-25 is considered Kansas by locals Drop me a note when you move; I'm in the front range and ride all over Colorado
Yeah, but getting ahold of a house east of town is much, MUCH cheaper. It does suck that it takes an hour to get to the mountains.
