Northern Expanse
A classic of the region, without doing yet another FoCo Fondo adjacent route. 54 super busy miles with a mix of trails, random dirt neighborhoods, across two counties of primo northern ColoRADo riding.
The Stats:
Distance: 54 miles
Paved: 15%
Climbing: 2300 feet
Notes: Pretty straightforward. Big rollers, lots of sunshine.
Refills: None. Gets close to Wellington for issues.
Tires: Something like a WTB Vulpine in a 40 would be super fun. A lot of the gravel is fast rolling and is best paired with a fast gravel tire that can get you through any loose sections.
