Fort Collins climbing

Hello all,

It's been a while since I've been around here, but I have a question for anyone who has experience riding around Fort Collins!

Are there any/many good climbs around Fort Collins? I'll be out there for about a week and I was looking at renting a road bike so I can finally ride through the mountains on some long, sustained climbs. Everything around me here is flat or short and steep. I'm looking at riding around 40 miles a day for a few days.

If there aren't many sustained climbs, are there a good wealth of single track trails? I'd prefer to do some road riding, but if that can't happen, I might just rent a full suspension bike and spend the day on some trails.

Bonus question: What's the best place to rent a bike? I'm getting ready to make some calls for rentals and climbing. I was looking at the Giant Defy from Peloton Cycles, unless I can throw my leg over a Cannondale.

Thank you so much! I hope this is my chance to finally ride some mountain climbs.
