For Thanksgiving, I took a three hour bike ride to a large open space park in Lakewood, Green Mountain. It wasn't a long ride but it was a very steep ride. In about 8.5 miles I climbed approximately 1,400 feet. The last section was on a dirt trail. My hybrid bike is design to allow off-road riding, but this terrain was at the outer limit of what it can do. I walked several of the steeper section or those covered with rocks and loose gravel. The reward was grand views of the Rockies and Denver.
