After my riding Vail Pass yesterday,

I returned to Denver and the wife and I did a leisurely ride along the Lee Gulch Trail, right in the heart of Littleton, in SW Denver metro area - with only 6 street crossings.

This is a neat gravel trail, which when combined with the Highline Canal Trail, the C-470 Trail and the Platte River Greenway makes for a nice, easy 15 mile loop.

Six years ago this loop was my first "long" ride. Man, I thought I had gone forever - 15 MILES - WOW! :D

Here is NOra at a "biking" rest stop at Hudson Gardens, on the Platte River Greenway Trail, right near the Lee Gulch trail.

Here I am on the Lee Gulch Trail, which follows a small trickle of a stream past a little lake and lots and lots of open space.

The Lee Gulch Trail joins the Highline Canal Trail, which goes for about 75 miles throughout SW Denver metro area. This is the Highline Canal Trail.

This was a very relaxing fun ride after Vail Pass!
