I thought moving from Croydon to Eastbourne was a brave and sensible move when the wife and I retired. Glad you are enjoying your new home.

Many of the trails along the Front Range are a boulder fest. In fact a 4-6 inch travel “trail bike” is almost de rigor around here, though the Heil Ranch system is one of the rockier systems near Boulder. Being close to Boulder, much work is underway to smooth the trail somewhat to make it more accessible to more riders. With that said, its still pretty rocky! Its not the mud and gloop I remember from mountain biking in the UK. We have 300+ days of sunshine per year and the climate is very dry – if fact dust can be the enemy – and a little rain is nice to make the trails tacky.

We do have smoother trail as well but they are fewer and farther in between. We also have some awesome trails in the high mountains up around and above 10,000ft (3000+m). Last summer I rode Boulder’s highest trail that climbs to 12,235ft (3,730m). Great day!

If we ever get bored then within a 6 hour drive we have:
Moab
Crested Butte
Durango
Fruita
Colorado Springs
Telluride

The list goes on…

Some of the most epic biking around is only a short drive away.

Glad you liked our town!
