    Road cycling

    Sunshine Canyon is a popular ride that that takes you straight from downtown Boulder up into the foothills past popular hikes like Mount Sanitas and Lions Lair. This upper section of Sunshine Canyon is gravel, but it is generally well-graded, and hard packed; it is frequently completed by local cyclists on road bikes. The only place where the gravel can be a little looser and chunkier is toward the top of the canyon by Gold Hill, so be aware when ascending or descending.
