Brewery Trails?

What's up with all the trails that lead to breweries?

Seriously. Let's take a look some of them:

The Clear Creek Trail that runs from Denver, CO to Golden, CO also leads to the Coors Brewery in Golden. Talk about your pot of gold at the end of the trail.

The Tammany Trace Bike Trail near New Orleans, Louisiana is interrupted by a stop at the Abita Brewery in Abita Springs/Covington, LA. And if you're there @ 2:00, you get to taste 14 different beers and a root beer... for free. And you get a brewery tour, to boot.

And I'm told the Poudre River Trail near Fort Collins, CO goes near the New Belgium Brewery. I believe all of these breweries offer tours and tastings.

So if you're into biking & beer, you'll more than likely enjoy these trails and the little side trips to the breweries.

Bear Creek Trail near Morrison, Colorado

Spring is around the corner. We've had a tough winter. February averaged nine degrees colder than usual this year. When I was working full time as a teacher, I averaged a couple days of biking per week. This year, as a retiree who works from home, I only made it out two or three times all winter. It's been either too cold, too snowy, or too icy.
Well it's warm out today, and my thoughts turn to a good biking trip. I'm thinking the Bear Creek Trail that goes through parts of Morrison, Arvada, Westminster & Denver, Colorado would be a good trail to hit pretty soon.
The nice thing about the Bear Creek Trail is that I can start by having breakfast in Morrison and end by having lunch in Denver. It also makes a pretty good loop trail when tied in with the Platte River Trail and the C470 Trail.
If you are interested in any of those trails, feel free to visit the links above for more trail information and photos.
