The Dams, Pineridge, and Maxwell!

This route has a ton of climbing for the distance but you have to climb to get these views! The Dams are tough to ride but use your lower gears and jam it out to get above Fort Collins and hit some fun trail sections. Maxwell is not on this route as shown but it is a really fun gravel/MTB trail that we hit frequently on our gravel bikes.

The Stats:

• Distance: 23 miles

• Paved: 50%

• Climbing: 1900feet

Notes: Real mixed terrain riding with pavement and trails

Refills: There’s a few spigots for water at trail heads, most notably Pineridge.

Tires: With the trail sections I’d recommend something like a WTB Resolute or Riddler. Lug it up the hills but then have fun on the trail sectors.
