Chapman is a scenic gravel ride just minutes from downtown Boulder. We start off on the Boulder Creek Path and head west up Boulder canyon on a grade that was once a narrow gauge railroad. The paved part of the path ends after a mile or so and this turns to a gravel trail. After a short stretch on the highway, we turn at the Red Lion Inn and jump on the start of Chapman drive.
Chapman maintains a solid 6-10% grade for about four miles of gravel riding. This road was rebuilt after the 2013 floods and is in great shape.
