We rented bikes at one of the shops in Aspen and took a nice, long ride out to the Woody Creek Tavern. I love this ride- not difficult at all and full of beautiful scenery. We do it every year and then end with burgers and margaritas at Woody's!

Rio Grande Trail is so amazing, words can not describe its scenic beauty! Road bikers of all levels can take advantage of this trail. You can ride your bike as many miles as you want but most people bike from Aspen to the town of Basalt and catch the bus on the way back. Advanced bikers should definitely bike back... More

Wonder trail for biking. Even though it follows the highway, the view of the valley preclude any high way noise. From Glenwood to Aspen, the trail takes you along rivers and through the small towns. Lunch, brunch or dinner is just a stop on the way.

The path follows the bank of the Roaring Fork River for several miles. It is a great diversion from skiing

The trail is 20 miles but we only did the first 10 miles starting from Aspen. First 2 miles are paved. It is an easy trail along the river with nice views. There are a few hills but nothing very steep.

We rented bikes at Four Mountain Sports for 1/2 day (4 hours). We started the trail at the John Denver Sanctuary and rode 8 miles to the town of Woody Creek. There we ate lunch at Woody... More

Great stop-off en route at cafe, maybe about 8 miles in, or perhaps less. You can cycle on for miles and miles if you like, just beautiful.
