Boulderbackroads: E-Bike Dirt Road Tour

My boyfriend and I were looking for a mountain adventure, and we found one! Conor wa a great guide, training us on the use of Ebikes and taking us on a private tour up Gold Hill and down the Switzerland Trail on a beautiful sunny day. With stops for gazing at the mountains and delicious home made pie, it was a great curated experience in the mountains which was exactly what we were hoping for. Conor was a terrific guide and we know you will have an awesome time should you choose this tour.

Amazing power to get you up the steep dirt roads of Boulder Canyon. Comfortable seats. The store was very helpful -- from setting up the bikes to suggesting the trails.

We were in Colorado for a weekend and decided to add the Boulder Backroads tour to our agenda. It ended up being one of the best things we did that weekend. We met Conor at the shop and he gave us an overview of the e-bikes and made sure we were comfortable before loading everything into their comfortable van for the drive to the start of the ride. The real fun began when we jumped on the bikes. The dirt road headed straight up the mountain but the e-bike made the climbing easy. We meandered up the climb while Conor provided a historical overview of the area and called out other points of interest. We made a brief stop in the old mining town of Gold Hill for refueling before we headed over to the Switzerland trail for an incredibly enjoyable descent on more incredible dirt. I found myself taking tons of photos throughout the ride. On the way back to the shop after the ride, Conor even made a recommendation for lunch that was top notch. I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see off-the-beaten-path locations and journey into the past on the wonderfully enjoyable dirt roads in the mountains above Boulder.

My partner and I were in town for a very short visit and we wanted to experience what it would be like to ride in CO. Having stumbled upon their website and this tour, and having never ridden e-bikes, we though we'd give it a go. It was SO fun! Conor was a fantastic guide. Went over the bikes with us, how they worked and if they fit right. Gave us a little time to get a feel for them before heading out on the tour. The route we went on was incredibly beautiful, and Conor was very knowledgable about the history of the area and all the riding that is available around Boulder. Being from the Northeast, it was so great to have a little help from the e-bike, while being at a higher elevation and riding up hill. I was able to hold a conversation, which never would have happened on a regular mt. bike. :) Also, not having a lot of mt. bike experience or the greatest bike handling skills, this route was no problem. Not only was it no problem, it was super fun. We took plenty of stops to take pictures and Conor came supplied with snacks and beverages. I really can't say enough how fantastic this adventure was. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
