Drinking water is mapped at 1 point; the longest stretch without is 5.5 mi (mile 4.6–10.1).

Places are from OpenStreetMap within 60 m of the route (0.2 mi for a landmark such as a château or museum), and climbs from the modelled profile. Nothing here is checked on the ground and opening hours are not known. A good place to stop has food and water or toilets together, nearest the middle of the ride.

Rides are modelled from OpenStreetMap and terrain data and are not field-checked yet. Times here are estimates at a sporty pace. Catalogue access does not mean a ride fits your ability or available time. Low traffic stress includes quiet/shared streets, not just separated paths. Check current conditions before you go. Cherry Creek and Chatfield are state parks: Colorado Parks and Wildlife lists a daily pass for people who come in on foot or by bike. Red Rocks closes some roads on concert days. Denver is about a mile (1,600 m) above sea level, and the foothills climb higher: if you come from near the sea, you can get tired sooner. The foothills roads can be icy in winter. Carry plenty of water.
