ROUTES

62-Mile Metric Century: You'll begin by following the beautiful Poudre River Trail to La Porte, then head south and enjoy foothills views along Overland Trail and through Spring Creek Park. Climb to Dixon Dam, swing around the south end of Horsetooth Reservoir, and on to Masonville. Thru Eden Valley, across Hwy 34, and a quick descent into Loveland on 1st St. Big Thompson Trail, then Civic Center Trail will take you to Boyd Lake. On the final stretch you'll follow Boyd Lake, Wetlands, and Power Trails back to Timberline.

Option: For a little more challenge, climb Bingham Hill and ride the "Dam Hills" along the east edge of Horsetooth Reservoir. (Same distance with a little more climbing.)

50-Mile Trails: You'll follow the 60-mile route to the base of Dixon Dam. Then Kathy Fromme Trail connects you to Long View Trail and you'll follow the foothills to Loveland. From there you'll cruise West Side, Big Thompson, Civic Center, Boyd Lake, Wetlands, and Power Trails as you circle Loveland and return to Timberline.

25-Mile: You'll follow the 60-mile route to the base of Dixon Dam. Kathy Fromme Trail wanders the south edge of Fort Collins and connects to Fossil Creek Trail. At Fossil Creek Park a couple of quiet streets will connect you with Power Trail and your return to Timberline.

15-Mile Family: A short, beautiful piece of Poudre Trail leads you to Spring Creek Trail. You'll pass EPIC and meander to Mason Trail, then south to Fossil Creek Trail. At Fossil Creek Park a couple of quiet streets will connect you with Power Trail and your return to Timberline.
