Boulder Canyon>Sugarloaf>Switzerland Trail>4Mile bike ride

Mixed pavement/gravel/4WD bike ride. Up Boulder Canyon to Sugarloaf > Switzerland Trail > finish up by descending Four Mile Canyon back to Boulder. Boulder Canyon is mostly pavement (short section of crushed gravel); Sugarloaf is mixed pavement/gravel; Switzerland Trail is a 4WD road; Four Mile is mostly pavement with a little gravel near the top. The Switzerland Trail is supposedly rideable by a gravel bike with the right tires (40+). But, I'll be on a trail MTB because I think it will be more fun that way.

Meet at the Boulder County Justice Center, far east end of the parking lot, ready to roll out at 0800 sharp on Saturday morning, 8/23. Free parking at the Justice Center on the weekends.

This will be an intermediate pace, no-drop ride. We'll regroup a few times during the ride so nobody gets left behind. That said, this is a fairly serious ride (28miles/3200ft), so please do an honest self evaluation and make sure you're ready for it. I expect the round trip will take 3-ish hours.

Optional coffee in Boulder afterwards.

I can forward you the .gpx file if you're interested in it.
