Biking a 32 mile loop that combines the Bear Creek Trail, C-470 Bikeway, and Mary Carter Greenway (Platte River).
This loop is mostly flat with around 1,000 feet of elevation gain throughout the entire ride. The climb up to Mount Carbon (summit shown at 23:30) is only around 300 vertical feet, and then C-470 is sprinkled with short climbs. Bear Creek and Mary Carter Greenway (Platte River) both follow water sources and are mostly flat.
I recommend going counterclockwise, as shown, since it's nicer to go uphill on the scenic Bear Creek trail, and then trend downhill on the not-as-scenic C-470 Bikeway (which parallels the highway).
Filmed at 2x speed on a GoPro9 Black. All riding abides by Colorado regulations, including the Safety Stop law, and no pedestrians were harmed in the making of this film.
