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.

An impressive rock formation just on the outskirts of Boulder.

There are a bunch of easy trails that wind though and around the park, which is very open and has great views of Wonderland Hill and Lake. There are restrooms by the parking lot.

There is a steep nontechnical ascent here near the falls. If you hit this trail heading southwest you will have generally steeper uphills and more rolling descents.

The road up Flagstaff from Chautauqua to Chapman Drive, where you can continue to Artists Point overlooking Boulder, is an iconic Boulder climb. This fun, twisting road (whether you ride up or down) grants you great views over the city as you pass by large sandstone boulders and cliffs, stands of pine trees, and several viewpoints. Watch out for cars on both the ascent and descent, this is a very popular drive for tourists and locals alike and there are several well-trafficked hiking trails off of the road.
