"MARY'S LOOP"

Mary's Loop Trail (8 mi.) is in Loma, Colorado. Besides being a great loop ride, this trail is also the beginning of the remarkable Kokopelli Trail. So instead of looping, if you got plenty left, just keep going for 140 miles to Moab, Utah. Just kidding. Seriously, if you are not too tired, it's nice to ride Rustler's Loop (3 mi.) and/or Horsethief Bench Loop (3.5 mi.) with this one. Most people would have a short hike-a-bike to access Horsethief. This area features great views of the Colorado River canyon country. Lions Loop (for the Lion's Club) also connects to Mary's . It's a tougher ride. As a matter of fact, it's no problem at all to "loop" from dawn to dusk in the area, never riding the same trail twice. It's swell scenery and swell aerobic exercise. blm.gov and trailcentral.com have some good info. The trail is free access on BLM land.
