The Community Ditch Trail is an easy mountain biking route that serves as a connector to the Marshall Mesa trails. While not particularly thrilling to ride, it offers beautiful views of the Flatirons and golden open fields. The trail effectively connects the east and west sections of trails across Highway 93, making it useful, scenic, and straightforward.

Varsity Lake is a pretty small reservoir in Boulder, Colorado. You can ride over the lake on the Varsity Bridge, or you can circle around the water on one of the other paved paths.

The Bear Creek Greenway meanders along the creek for many miles. It offers a paved trail lined with trees beside the water, with residential backyards on the opposite side.

If you're looking for an excuse to pull over for a minute — or just a nice patch of nature on your ride — Maxwell Lake Park fills the bill. It has a small lake and an unpaved walking path (so you'll need to put your bike away when you walk around it).

This little reservoir is a nice waypoint on your travels to or from the neighborhoods of Washington Village and Pine Hill, or nearby Maxwell Park. There's a paved trail that makes cycling here easy.
