This scenic and low-traffic route explores ranch country and open space between Niwot and CO 36, contouring around the eastern and southern edges of the caldera hills south of Lyons. There's a gravel stretch of about 3 miles in the middle that's fine for road bikes. Great views and good variety of flat and rolling terrain. No big climbs. You could keep a fast pace on this one.
