I made it to Cherry Creek State Park. You take the bridge at REI and it takes you up that way. There are a lot of different paths to go and as usual they are only sign posted if you are coming from the south. It was very nice cycling through the middle of Denver along Spear Boulevard. I made a few wrong turns and ended up going along the side of I-225 so I doubled back and made it into the park.
The way back was fast! It was downhill with a wind behind me. However the Platte River trail played some shenanigans with the wind. In my face both ways! Any time I cycle around midday the wind does like to move around a little bit.
Cherry Creek trail was good and very busy, I think I prefer the Platte river trail as its not through a built up area. Ironically (or maybe not) the only place the bike path requires you to stop is at a Country Club in Cherry Creek.
I think next week ill try the circle route down Platte River and up Cherry Creek. I'm hitting a point where I need to start thinking of nutrition on the bike and maybe a small run at the end.
No map data as I forgot my Garmin.
