Description

Already explored Boulder’s highlights (maybe on our Boulder Joyride? Or perhaps you just want to skip the “tourist spots” and get straight to the joy of riding? Then Boulder’s Hidden Trails is your adventure. This ride is less about sightseeing, more about flow: fewer stops, fewer crowds, more beauty, more ride time. Your guide, longtime local and Chief Joyrider JD, has crafted a route that only a seasoned Boulderite would know — cruising on bike paths, trails, and tucked-away cut-throughs that weave between quiet neighborhoods and breathtaking open space, showing you the Boulder you won't read about in guidebooks. It’s about surprise and delight, and discovering a Boulder that most visitors never see. Like most riders, when you're done with this route you'll find yourself saying: “If not for this, I never would have seen all of that.”

Why take this tour?

If Boulder landmarks like the CU campus, Dushanbe Teahouse, and Chautauqua Park are on your list (and they should be), our Boulder Joyride covers those must-see gems.

Gliding comfortably on your pedal-assisted eBike (with throttle!), you’ll see:
  • The world-famous Boulder Creek Path
  • CU-Boulder’s East Research Campus
  • NOAA/NIST labs
  • Serene, eclectic neighborhoods
  • Spectacular open space
  • One of Boulder’s most jaw-dropping viewpoints
  • Prairie dogs (warning: they’re ridiculously cute!)

Included

  • Pedal-Assisted Bike
  • Bike Helmet
  • Bottled Water
  • Lead Joyrider (guide)
  • Saddlebags for your personal items
