The Way to JD's Joyrides
Why take this tour?
Part of the beauty of Boulder is its diverse topography. The plains meet the mountains on the west side of town, providing us with plenty of thrilling hills to climb, as well as flatter areas that allow for mellow riding and fantastic views of Boulder's spectacular Flatirons backdrop.
The High Climber concentrates on the literal ups and the downs (but definitely not downers) of Boulder. We'll spend most of our time on the west side of town, where you'll get up-close views of the Flatirons and cruise through some of Boulder's higher end (literally) neighborhoods. It's also a great opportunity to experience the full potential of our eBikes. One steady-but-easy, strain-free, sweat-less climb to Chautauqua or NCAR will show you what these bikes can do. After this ride, the chance you'll start looking for one for yourself goes up considerably.
Depending on the route your guide selects, possible locations on the two-hour High Climber eBike Tour include:
- Boulder Creek Path
- Eben G Fine Park
- Boulder Canyon
- Mapleton Hill Historic District
- CU Campus
- University Hill
- 19th St Bridge
- Chautauqua Park
- The Flatirons
- NCAR
- Wonderland Lake
- Foothills Community Park
- The Scenic Overlook
NOTE: this ride involves climbing (and descending) several hills. The eBike will help considerably, but you will still need to pedal steadily to reach the top, sometimes for as much as 10-15 minutes straight. If you can walk two miles with reasonable comfort you should be able to do this. If you're not sure, get in touch and we'll talk about it.
