About This Route

Great Ride. Up and down along Horsetooth Res with a few fairly steep, but short sections. Teasers to warm up the legs. Hwy 14 up to the turn off to Stove Praire Rd is a nice meander up the Poudre Canyon. Gradent is moderate, and traffic at least when we rode it in April was light. The upper section of the canyon is very scenic. The road gets consideranbly steep turning south on Stove Praire Rd. Eventuallu after reaching a false summit around 7-8km into the climb, the road levels off a bit. The rest of the grind to the summit is easy. The descent back to Horsetooth is fun, and there are a few last bumps before returning to the start which will tax your already tired legs. l
