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:
‘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.
