Crazy Horse's stomping grounds

Gravel route on Hwy 20, Chadron, Dawes County, Nebraska

"One of the greatest rides I've ever done. Pure bliss on these roads. Western NE backroads are severely underrated."

21 mi   gravel

Southern loop on Water Board road

Gravel route on County Rd 522, Fraser, Grand County, Colorado

"The southern extension of the Water Board road, more steep-but-short, challenging climbs. The return is on the Fraser-Winter Park bike path."

Hurd Creek- Water Board Road

Gravel route on County Rd 522, Fraser, Grand County, Colorado

"The Denver Water Board Road is the key gravel link along the eastern flank of the Fraser Valley but it's a real love-hate kind of a road. As it cuts between drainages the climbs can be painfully steep. The descents are equally steep, which makes them difficult to recover on and over with too quickly before the road tips back up and you're climbing the next 11% pitch."

Gore Pass north loop

Gravel route from Forest Rd 185 to CO-134, Kremmling, Grand County, Colorado

"They've closed the 185 road, which caused me to backtrack here. These roads are fantastic. Could ride this loop in either direction."

13 mi   gravel

Legacy loop

Gravel route on 6th St, Granby, Grand County, Colorado

"A winding loop through a rural subdivision on Granby Mesa. Perfect 1 hour evening ride. Very little traffic on well-maintained gravel. Some variations available."

10 mi   gravel

Cottonwood Pass

Gravel route from Co Hwy 55 to Byers Ave, Granby, Grand County, Colorado

"A true classic Grand County gravel segment. It's steeper from the Granby side but more difficult from the Hot Sulphur side due to more elevation gain and longer uninterrupted climbing."

24 mi   gravel

Harper County Farm Roads

Gravel route on E 12th St, Harper, Harper County, Kansas

"Just one example of endless examples of Kansas farm country gravel. Surfaces in this area are mostly hard-packed red clay with a couple sand traps thrown in. May not be the most compelling geography to ride, but keeping the route complex with turns every mile or two helps."

Troublesome Loop w/northern extension

Gravel route on 1st St, Kremmling, Grand County, Colorado

"Riding south on the lightly-used, rolling County Road 23 is the highlight of this ride. A good early-season ride."

Church Park loop from Granby or Fraser

Gravel route on W Garnet Ave, Granby, Grand County, Colorado

"I rode this loop in a clockwise direction from Granby. Many variations possible on this loop. Counterclockwise would be harder, with the 3,000-foot climb up the Beaver Creek road. I Rode Highway 40 back into town on pavement, but could add Cottonwood Pass from Hot Sulphur instead for another tough climb at the end. "

Kremmling loop west

Gravel route on Grand Ave, Kremmling, Grand County, Colorado

"About 2/3 of this loop (the trough road and blacktail road) encompasses a portion of the Divide Mountain Bike Route, but ridden in the opposite direction that most people ride it. Not advisable to ride this loop counterclockwise, as the 3,000-foot climb up County Road 14 to kick things off would be a killer with extremely steep gradients at the top. "
