Thanks!!
i was out there for a week last August and the cycling options were simply incredible. We were on a residential mountain just outside of Carbondale.
- road cycling has incredible opportunities all around the residential mountains. Also there is the roaring fork bile path thats flat and lower elevation.
- gravel riding was a blast on the unpaved mountain roads and the BLM access roads. There are tons of well groomed unpaved roads even within the residential/ranch areas.
- there are lots of mtb singletrack spots within 20min of Carbondale, but we ended up going to Snowmass and renting downhill bikes(and armor) for a day. Most fun on 2 wheels ive had!
