Where You’re Going
So let’s be clear about one thing…this ride isn’t a competition. It’s all about doing your personal best, whatever that may be. Nobody’s keeping time of the event, so if you need to take a minute and catch your breath, do! However you ride, you’ll still come out a winner.
Venus de Miles has two rides to choose from, both of which start at Prospect Park, Prospect New Town in Longmont.
35-Mile Route
The shorter route is a 35-mile loop, taking you up through Hygiene, past the Foothills Reservoir and then down through Niwot before heading back.
65-Mile Route
The second, 65-mile route also takes you through Hygiene and Niwot but then turns west, venturing through Lyons and Jamestown.
If the rides sound tough, don’t worry—there are plenty of stops along the way, with refreshments and bike repairs at the ready.
