Mattlikesbikes Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 In Breck this week and filling out my dance card with trails over here. But I'll be in Leadville on Thursday and looking to put together 3hrs of riding or so. Seems like the best option for singletrack is to just play around Turquoise Lake? Then do the Sugarloaf Lollipop, then Turquoise Lake Rd back to the truck? Anything else worth exploring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I would say skip Leadville and ride more Breck unless you want to experience part of the race course. The views and the feeling from the top of Columbine are amazing but the actual “trail” is meh IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured if I was making the drive out there I would hit a trail in the area as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnw101 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 The Turquoise Lake trail is always fun and was in great shape last month. I don’t know how familiar you are with the area, but they added several miles of new single track on Southeast side of the lake late last year. It would be easy start by the dam and do an out and back along the lake trail, then explore the new single track. My Strava is private so a link might not work, but the pic will give you an idea of how much single track has been added. I went back over St Kevins to get back to town. This was a 31-mile 3.5 hour ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
