    So amazing to see all these local climbs captured so well in these beautiful clips, also so well spoken. Sometimes it's difficult to appreciate the scenery when you're out training! A wonderful reminder to appreciate what we have here. Super glad you enjoyed it 😀

    I was lucky to live in Boulder for 8 years from 1992 to 2000, having a boyfriend that was an avid cyclist, I got my first bike which was a Trek ST 950. I still have it and a lot of great memories, thanks for sharing your beautiful journey in CO!

    Glad you liked biking in Boulder! Scratch Cafe is one of the premier places to eat and grab a coffee. Sunshine Canyon is one of the local favorites to ride for road and gravel.

    Just drove through Boulder and was shocked at how Denver has sprawled and merged. Moved on down to ride Monarch Crest and then into CB.

    She tells it like it is! I been riding this area since 1992. Now I am 67 years old and got more legs than I did when I first started. If you come and do it from low elevation take it easy to begin with. Hydration and sun screen a must. Most of that ride is easier on a Mountain Bike! But hey if you want beat your body up go ahead and ride your gravel bike.

    Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed the video. I really liked the way you did Picture in Picture at times, I haven’t noticed that much on other channels. Great job!

    I'm glad you enjoyed Boulder! You rode right by my house on Magnolia Road, where I grew up biking. I'm happy to see that the roads haven't changed in many years. Made me a bit homesick, ha

    Beautiful scenery, now I see why there called “Gravel bikes”. For hard packed gravel and tarmac road use.

    I used to live in the Prairies and the first time I flew into Boulder I was excited to get to Rocky Mountain National Park. Got out of the car, started walking and then the altitude sickness kicked right in! Headaches that don't stop. I just drove down back to Estes Park (town at the base of mountain) and it started to go away in a few minutes! If you fly in from a low altitude area, you must give yourself time to acclimate. Boulder itself, however, poses no problem.

      Oh, you can get hit with it in Boulder, as well. Happened to me once on a business trip (flew in from Portland). I did have two beers the night before, however, which does increase the likelihood of getting hit with altitude sickness. And yes, it's awful. I live in the Boulder area now and it is wonderful, for the most part.
