places to ride near Bailey, CO.
I just moved to Bailey and am looking for some places to ride. Lived in Littleton for the past 7 years. Used to ride around Chatfield, Deer Creek, sometimes 470 to Red Rocks... but have no idea where to ride up here.

Raising the Abyss
From Bailey, head ~7 northeast on 285 to Deckers Rd (Rt 126) then achieve glory.

, of course. You can ride it up to Grants and go up Ganella Pass or you could ride it over to Conifer. But it's still US285. Your best bet would be to get a gravel grinder or a mountain bike and poke around on many of the dirt roads to the east of Bailey. A trip on Road 68 goes to Road 126 past Wellington Lake is around 15 miles. You could ride 126 down to Wigwam Creek and then come back on Road 211 (Goose Creek) to USFS 560 (Stony Pass Road). It's been a long time since I've ridden Stony Pass but it was a road better suited for mountain bikes back then. Probably hasn't improved.
