Hayden and West Routt County have some excellent road and mountain biking opportunities, on a great network of quiet, rural gravel roads.
The ride has several options including:
-
31 mile scenic ‘Gravel Grinder’ north on the Cog that starts with a challenging ride on pavement up the Cog then circles west on gravel roads around Elkhead Reservoir.
-
27 mile ‘Mud Route’, almost entirely on gravel and dirt, starts with a spectacular climb up the Middle Cog then heads along remote backcountry routes including the homestead of Ferry Carpenter.
-
43 mile ‘Combined Ride’ which features the best of both routes.
The “Combined” the "Gravel Grinder", "Mud Route" rides begin at 10:00am.
