Northern Colorado IMRG Cinnamon Roll & Peak-to-Peak Ride
Get ready for a day filled with mountain magic and sugary goodness! On this ride we’ll be cruising through stunning scenery on our way to Glen Haven, a quaint mountain town nestled amongst the pines. Our first stop? The legendary Glen Haven General Store, renowned for having the most incredible cinnamon rolls in all of Colorado. Imagine, warm, gooey rolls bursting with cinnamon flavor – the perfect fuel for a day of adventure.
After indulging in these delightful pastries, we’ll hop back on our bikes and climb up to Estes Park nestled on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park. Soak in the beauty of the Rockies as we ride, with fresh mountain air filling our lungs and breathtaking vistas unfolding before us.
We will begin our ride on the Peak-to-Peak as we head south out of Estes. This famed route winds its way through the heart of the Rockies, offering unparalleled panoramic views. We will pass the Chapel on the Rock in Allenspark and make our way to Ward where we will turn off onto Lefthand Canyon. After zig zagging through the Canyon, we’ll head back on Ute Highway and end the ride at the Walmart at the corner of Hwy 287 & 66.
This 90 mile ride is rated between Level 4-5 (1=easiest, 5=hardest) with lots of mountainous curves and a couple of switchbacks (as we climb into Estes). Total saddle time will be around 3 hours with elevation change from 5K feet to 9K feet.
See map for the planned route.
