The tour was a terrific way to get an overview of beautiful Boulder. It highlighted areas we knew we'd revisit later on our own. The guide was very informative and the ebikes made the trip so enjoyable.

This was such a great tour!! Great views, wonderful riding on bike ways, bike trails, and through some quiet, interesting neighborhoods.Originally, I didn’t understand that the registration and payment had to be all online. But it got worked out and we all had a great time.

Boulder's Hidden Trails: A Guided eBike Adventure

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.”
