Amazing riding here. I live on the west side so close to the foothills. I can probably show you where the stellar climbs are and if we can coordinate timing, I'll follow you up and make sure you don't get a heart attack. How long a ride do you want to do. I can easily (as in, easy access) climb 2,500-3,500 feet just riding near my house, from my house. Google "Ken Caryl" or "Ken Caryl Valley" in Google images and you will get the idea. Deer Creek Canyon and Lookout Mountain are two of the popular climbs around here.
