Big Dry Creek Trail in Westminster, Colorado

If you want to see trail pictures, a trail map, and a trail description, for Colorado's Big Dry Creek Trail, click on this trail link.

Below is a quick look at the trail as seen on my Everytrail trip guide. It is approximately ten miles long and can easily be done with a trail bike, hybrid bike, and some recumbents. Although many people ride the trail on road bikes, it's not ideal w/ high pressure tires. A little less than half of it is cement. The rest is mostly gravel and a bit bumpy in places. It's a good trail for bike trailers, so bring the kids out for a weekend bike ride.

Bike crashes




Youtube and other sites have thousands of videos of bike crashes. Many of them are pretty wicked. I have noticed one common factor.

All of them are either on the road or on mountain bike trails. None of them are on rail-trails or other multi-use trails. Let's keep it that way. Let's keep rail trails as the last bastion of sanity in the biking world. It doesn't matter whether they're urban trails, country trails or something in between; safe and relaxing trails are good trails.
