Thinking of riding up Rollins Pass on Saturday on the West side (closest to Nederland)
I'm thinking of off trailering the bike in Rollinsville and riding up from there.
I used to park at the Moffat Tunnel, but it's only an additional ~14 miles from Rollinsville (round trip).
the ride from rollinsville to the trail head near the tunnel is pretty easy, just a basic improved dirt road. the pass itself is fairly easy off road riding with bumps and a few rocks to deal with. A 2wd truck (and some cars) can make the trip as long as they have some clearance. Should not be a problem for a novice rider.. it's a nice ride and has lots of nice views ;)
just a leisurely ride, bring a camera.
anyone want to come along, give me a shout-out [Pepsi]
anyone want to do a road bike trip, let me know as well ;)
