    The ride from Golden around the Arvada Res and North Table is one of my favorite "I got an hour and don't want to climb" rides. The view from the top the res as you finish the little switchbacks on the NW side is one of my favorite views riding around here.

    Yup....and largely ignored by most people (or at least it was when I was there).

    My favorite "go to" ride was always Lookout Mountain. Rolled out from the house, warmed up going into Golden, hit the climb and jet down along I-70 (in the winter / spring at least...avoid the sand on the switchbacks!) and then back home.

    If I wanted to go longer, kept going up through Evergreen, past Bergen Peak and down into Morrison.

    Bergen Peak was my favorite MTB ride, though....just loved it.

    Was nice to ride Lookout again in June whne I was out there for a trade show. Good memories!!

    Just say "NO!!" to WCP!

    Map updated with new locations.

    FYI - I think I set this map up so that anyone can edit it. Using the link here to get to the map...

    1 - Type your location into the Google search bar
    2 - Click 'Save to map' on the left hand side of the screen
    3 - Make sure 'VeloNews Map' shows up in the drop down box of which map you want to save to, and click 'Save' next to that drop down box

    Here's the link again for everyone's benefit...

    https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Waukegan,+IL&hl=en&sll=29.563567,-95.286047&sspn=0.404338,0.345383&oq=Waukegan&t=h&hnear=Waukegan,+Lake,+Illinois&z=11

    As to making the thread sticky, I assume one of the moderators can do that if they deem it worthy.

    Central VA, and a little in the past (shortslowdistance would be more accurate) and a bit more in the future.

    this map thing was a great idea. i wonder if vn would be willing to make this a part of their website? along with where we're from, we could give a star rating to the quality of riding along a brief synopsis and maybe quality of life?

    If you are not hallucinating, you are not trying hard enough

    Head north, young man. Riding gets much better over the border.

    But yeah, right where you are blows....kinda far to get to some of the burbs where there is good riding (Barrington, Round Lake, Mundelein, etc) and the N / S routes to Highland Park, etc. are all congested.
