I have tried many ways to get from Westminster / Broomfield to Boulder, CO. After trying to ride a short distance down Highway 93 into Boulder and being scared for my life I know I had to from a safer route. Not only is this route about as safe as I can find, it is pretty direct. There are some hills but nothing too thigh burning. The views along the way are very picturesque. There is a bicycle lane or bicycle path all of the way, as well as other riders to help out if you really needed it. The start of the ride up along Wadsworth to the bike path at Highway 128 is noisy with cars and trucks but I felt safe, as there is some seperation, via a painted line, for the bicycles. Follow the bike path from the northwest corner at Wadsworth and Highway 128 to Interlocken Blvd. Make a right turn at Interlocken Blvd for a fun quick ride to the bottom. Continue forward down to the Flatirons Mall, which can be a little busy with shoppers going to the mall in cars. Make a left at the mall and follow the bike lane to Superior. Just follow that path through Superior and past the Safeway / Starbucks to the roundabout at McCaslin. Make a right turn to go up and over the hills to then zoom down McCaslin to Coal Creek and make a cautious left onto Coal Creek. Follow that up to the top at 76th Avenue where you make a right and follow that down to Marshall Road/ Highway 170. Make a left turn onto Marshall Road and follow it over and down. Just before Highway 93 make a right then a quick left hand turn to stay on Marshall Road. Just follow that up, and keep forging north into Boulder. Note; you can go north at Cherryvale to go into Boulder also. Enjoy the ride. FRED
