Bike – Ridgeline Open Space Park
This 10 mile loop in the Ridgeline Open Space west of Castle Rock is classified as an easy/intermediate mountain bike trail by the MTB Project. Nothing too technical, but some tight, loose turns, a few switchbacks, and a couple of short climbs on beautiful singletrack. Lots of rolling uphills and downhills which add up to about 1,000 ft of vertical ascent. This ride is primarily geared towards folks over 50 who prefer a less aggressive, but moderate & steady, pace on non-technical singletrack.
