Description

This loop is usually done clockwise, which involves a few hundred feet of climbing up low-grade switchbacks before getting to the well-flowing descent. There are no stopping obstacles, and intermediate riders shouldn't have to walk anything.

A fun, flowing romp just off of Blue Sky featuring a rip-roaring downhill with opportunities air with great views of Fort Collins all around! 2.1mi — 0h 22m

This is cool. Some decent flow, with tough off camber corners.
