I’m looking for a route recommendation for a decent road ride on a day trip from Denver. I mainly ride in evergreen/boulder/golden area but have the week off and want to try somewhere new! I was thinking cottonwood pass or somewhere along the I-70 corridor but I don’t always trust Strava to build a route that doesn’t include gravel. I did the triple bypass last year but haven’t really been able to get many big rides in this year, but I’m in decent shape and could probably do a few thousand feet of gain. If anyone has any Strava routes they can send over or just general recs since I’ve never really ventured beyond Idaho springs other than when I did the TBP please send them my way! Great views and/or lunch break stops are also a plus :)
