However, summer weekend days can get very crowded in the Poudre Canyon.

If you like that loop, another one to look at is: (1) drive to Laramie and park at the airport (2) cycle to Saratoga (3) cycle to Walden (4) cycle back to Laramie. There is also a triangle ride that can be done: Laramie, Saratoga, Medicine Bow and back to Laramie - flatter but not as interesting.
Lol, I want to try all of those. I do think that last triangle sounds pretty interesting, the one including medicine bow. I'm quite interested in cycling a bit of wyoming, and the flat plains like stuff can be pretty beautiful, aside from crazy winds. Thanks for the direction, awesome stuff.
