I went to Colorado State 93-94 and I too was expecting hills/mtns...not so!! In fact I remember driving into town in tears because it was so darn flat!

I was coming from California and was expecting the Rockies. Not to say the Rockies aren't right there but the town is so FLAT!
I think it offers the best as far as riding. You have your long flat stretches in farm country and then just West of town you get rollers...just beautiful!
I didn't want to move but my exchange program ended and my units wouldn't transfer...meant another two years of school. So back to Cali I came.

Definitely worth a visit....and its only an hour drive to Denver.

Great community, great beer, lots of recreational activites! Fun Fun Fun!
