Ride the RockiesCyclists in/thru Lyons Friday, June 16
Bohn Park and US-36/SH-66
Bicyclists riding in Ride The Rockies will be crossing Boulder County on Friday, June 16, 2023 on their way to Fort Collins. This week’s rockslide in South St. Vrain Canyon has necessitated a reroute that will travel across the county as follows:
?? Riders will enter Boulder County on CO 72/Peak to Peak Highway traveling north from Central City. ?? They will continue north through Nederland to Ward, then turn east on to Lefthand Canyon Dr. Riders will then turn north on US 36 and either turn east onto CO 66/Ute Highway or stop at an aid station in Lyons at Bohn Park. ?? They will then continue by turning north on 75th St., continuing onto Woodland Rd., and turning north onto 83rd St. where they will proceed to Larimer County. If you are traveling through the area during the events, please pay close attention to the Colorado State Troopers and Boulder County Sheriff’s Deputies who will be helping to keep the roads safe for everyone. When passing a bicyclist, motorists must allow at least three feet of space between their vehicle and a bicyclist. To pass a bicyclist safely, drivers may cross a double yellow center line when oncoming traffic is clear.
All roads on the event route will remain open to traffic throughout the day. View the route map at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42643426
Please plan for increased travel times in the vicinity of the riders. Thank you.

Tubing Ban/ClosureSt Vrain Creek
Sheriff Curtis Johnson, after consultation with the Town of Lyons and the Lyons Fire Protection District, has concluded that, in the interest of public safety, the North and Saint Vrain creeks and river will be closed to tubing and single chamber flotation devices. The closure will take effect on June 8, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. and encompass the North Saint Vrain and Saint Vrain Creek from Apple Valley Road to North Foothills Highway.
The closure includes watercraft such as single-chamber rafts, single-chamber belly boats, and inner tubes from floating in the creek. There is a specific exemption for kayaks and white-water canoes, which are permitted; nonetheless, kayakers are strongly encouraged to exercise caution and wear personal protection equipment, including a life jacket.
The tubing ban/closure will remain in effect until rescinded by the Sheriff.
