    Suggestions for After Work Rides

    Anybody have any suggestions for good after-work rides? i.e. Less than 3h, relatively close to Denver, and not hard enough to where you worry too much about going solo

    Bonus points if you have tracks to follow

    Lookout Mtn is fairly uncongested on a weekday, except for the cyclists.
    Bear Creek, Pleasant Park, Deer Creek makes a nice loop.
    When life throws you curves, aim for the apex

    You could also check out rollins pass. That's a pretty nice jeep road, but it's an out & back, not a loop.

    Is that open yet? I heard you can't get much above 10k without running into snow

    I ended up doing Idaho Springs to Central City and then up towards Yankee Hill. Got stopped by snow towards the end around 10,000 feet.
