Colorado, the squarest of states (literally) is a mountain biking mecca. take my word for it. I lived there. There
are some of the finest trails and single tracks in the nation. Also some of the finest people.
Gorp has got a fine feature on some of the epic
rides in john Denver country including the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route or GDMBR, a truly muscle-building
2,465-mile pedal that will be one of those trips you tell your kids about. Also mentioned here is the
Colorado Trail and the San Juan Hut System’s
206-mile Telluride-to-Moab tour. So get out, start riding and get in shape to tackle at least one of these rides.
