Zoom, and there they go.<br /><br />Lise - No, I cannot imagine riding on these mountain roads. There is no place to pass even one car until you get down the mountain.<br /><br />Tara - I also expect to see a bike around every curve. I put on my flashers until I can safely pass.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-82392407083104849682014-04-15T14:52:12.154-04:002014-04-15T14:52:12.154-04:00in the mountains surrounding Boulder, Co., cyclist...in the mountains surrounding Boulder, Co., cyclists love to challenge themselves on the steep narrow roads. Can be quite a hazard for them and motorists. When visiting, I've learned to drive nice and slow with eyes wide open in anticipation of a cyclist. You don't want to pass them on the narrow road at a curve, so you must go slowly slowly. I admire their athletic prowess.

It's more than I would attempt. We have one guy who rides up and down our surrounding mountains, he probably participated. He may be only one person, but I'm always extremely cautious when he's on the road...there's barely enough room for two cars to pass, never mind with a biker present. Slow and steady, that's my motto!Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431245561712781037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-74555533993282809362014-04-15T11:48:04.066-04:002014-04-15T11:48:04.066-04:00Hi there, We had many races like this one when we ...Hi there, We had many races like this one when we lived in Ca. and now we have one big one here in Colorado.

People lined the streets, craned necks and watched and waited.<br />Then WHIZZZZZ---in about 15 seconds all the racers went streaking through the town, and that was it!KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-90703422626463367672014-04-14T19:13:04.222-04:002014-04-14T19:13:04.222-04:00I desperately miss biking.

One of the reasons we plan on moving from the foothills back to the coast is so we can do more riding. Out here in the country on long winding highways, it's too dangerous to get on the road, and there are no real bike lanes. We like a place that is really welcoming to bike riders!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-6801167357101534782014-04-14T11:38:18.107-04:002014-04-14T11:38:18.107-04:00The tires are probably rotting on my bike from lac...The tires are probably rotting on my bike from lack of use. Holy moly, I can't imagine riding a bike in the mountains, even if they are called mountain bikes. :)<br /><br />Our neighborhood is a favorite route for cyclists. I confess to getting aggravated sometimes, like when they're riding three abreast so they can talk. (Maybe I'm jealous because they can pedal and talk at the same time.)Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811932255861253977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-25006089171627490922014-04-14T10:46:56.883-04:002014-04-14T10:46:56.883-04:00I have never ridden a bike.
