 I usually spend a couple weeks out of the summer at the Ritz Carlton Club Bachelor Gulch and one of the best ways to spend an afternoon is taking a bicycle out into Avon, Beaver Creek, or along the Eagle River towards Edwards.  Bachelor Gulch is the hub of these authentic mountain communities.  My favorite part is riding down the windy hill towards Avon and taking in the crisp air of Colorado.  I love to challenge myself to see how long I can cruise without using brakes.

When most people think of the Colorado, they think “skiing in the Rockies,” but the best kept secret is the plethora of things to do in Colorado in the summertime.
